Chronicling the legendary hot rod artist and car customizer,the Ed "Big Daddy" Roth – The Original Rat Fink exhibit @ the Peterson Automotive Museum in Los Angeles features artwork, custom cars, and 83 customized ceramic Rat Finks by a diverse group of artists. Cameron Tiede contributed a custom Rat Fink to the show and also recently checked out the exhibit first hand. Clearly impressed with the Rat Finks he said it was "the best custom show he’d seen". He also sent along some nice shots of the exhibit.
To ensure this exhibit lives on, Tornado Design has just released the softcover Ratfink’s Revenge: The Custom Monster Collection book for $24.95 which features over 400 color photos of each custom Rat Fink featured in the exhibition. There’s also a special collector’s edition which comes with several extras including a blank 12" polystone Rat Fink! If you’re anywhere near LA, the exhibit runs through June 3rd, 2007 so you have plenty of time to see it in person. Be sure to click through to the full post for more custom Rat Finks.
