Em 1970 um roubo em seu estúdio fez com que ele desistisse da atividade de construtor de hot rods. A pedido de fãs, ele voltou a construir suas obras para colecionadores e eventos nas quais ele era convidado. Ele morreu aos 69 anos vitima de um infarto enquanto ele trabalhava na construção de um hot rod.

In 1963 The [[Hawk Model Company]] issued its line of "Weird-Oh's" plastic models and [[Marx Toys]] issued [[Nutty Mads]], both clearly inspired by Roth's work. Both items were quite popular in the mid-sixties and remain sought after collector's items to this day. Hawk Models continues to re-issue its "Weird-Oh's" periodically.<ref>{{Citation |url= http://hawkmodels.com/|accessdateacessodata=2011-05-04 }}</ref>

In the mid 1960s Roth began customizing motorcycles. Mainstream motorcycle magazines refused to run his articles and ads, so he started his own publication called ''Choppers'', which featured articles on extending forks, custom sissy bars, etc. It was a small, black and white publication that ran from 1967 to 1970, and was the first magazine ever to exclusively feature custom motorcycles, or [[Chopper (motorcycle)|choppers]].<ref>{{Citation |url=http://edroth.blogspot.com/2009/05/ed-big-daddy-roths-chopper-magazine.html|accessdateacessodata=2011-05-04 }}</ref> Roth also built the first known VW powered trike.<ref name="amazon.com">{{Citation |url= http://www.amazon.com/dp/1934709670|titletítulo=Ed "Big Daddy" Roth, His Life, Times, Cars, and Art by Pat Ganahl, CarTech Books|accessdateacessodata=2011-05-04 }}</ref> Roth built many trikes for himself and others including Candy Wagon, California Cruiser, Secret Weapon, Rubber Ducky and The Great Speckled Bird.<ref name="amazon.com"/>

From 1970 to 1975 worked for Brucker's Movie World and their "Cars of the Stars" display. Brucker said that Roth was a very loyal guy and a very hard worker, even though he wasn't making much money. Brucker said that when building something, Roth had a natural knack for seeing how things fit together — he would build something in a few days which would take other guys a couple of weeks. Although Roth was a laid-back, amiable guy, Brucker also remembers that Roth was a hell of a fighter and if anyone came through the museum causing trouble, Roth would put them in line. He was fearless.<ref name= Ganahl136 >{{citecitar booklivro|authorautor =Pat Ganahl|titletítulo=Ed "Big Daddy" Roth: His Life, Times, Cars, and Art|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=MYY6vqRzLn4C&pg=PA136|accessdateacessodata=15 Julyde julho de 2012|datedata=15 Marchde março de 2011|publisherpublicado=CarTech Inc|isbn=978-1-934709-67-2|pagespáginas=136–}}</ref> Roth's Druid Princess was one of the many cars displayed there.

The [[Orbitron]] was built in 1964. The car, in dilapidated, inoperative condition, had been parked for some time in front of an adult bookstore in [[Ciudad Juárez]]. The owners of the shop were also the owners of the car. It was purchased and taken back to the United States by Michael Lightbourn, an American auto restorer who did business in Mexico.

Roth was active in counterculture art and hot-rodding his entire adult life. At the time of his death in 2001, he was working on a hot-rod project involving a compact car planned as a departure from the dominant tuner performance modification style.{{citationcarece neededde fontes|datedata=Maymaio de 2011}}

Roth had his shop at 4616 Slauson Avenue in [[Maywood, California|Maywood]], California (about 4 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles) that he started in early 1959. He ran an ad in Car Craft magazine that year announcing the new address of his shop.

Roth incorporated the [[biker cross|iron cross]] into his artwork (surfers had previously been using the iron cross as a symbol of youthful, carefree rebellion).<ref name="Ganahl2011"/> Roth didn't own a bike at the time so he bought a brand-new [[Harley-Davidson Sportster]] and then proceeded to paint its gas tank a flat black color. Roth painted white lettering on one side of the tank that said: "Love is Hate"; and on the reverse side: "Hate is Love".<ref name="Ganah113">{{citecitar booklivro|authorautor =Ganahl, Pat|titletítulo= Ed "Big Daddy" Roth: His Life, Times, Cars, and Art|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=MYY6vqRzLn4C&pg=PA113|accessdateacessodata= 15 Julyde julho de 2012|datedata= 15 Marchde março de 2011|publisherpublicado= CarTech Inc|isbn=978-1-934709-67-2|pagespáginas=113}}</ref>

Roth had taken black and white photos of different bikers and made posters out of them which he sold at car shows, usually to kids. The posters had titles like, "Beautiful Buzzard", or "Gray Cat". Roth would periodically give these bikers money to party, but soon some of the bikers started to feel that Roth was "getting rich" off of them and they wanted a larger cut; which Roth agreed to, but inevitably things turned nasty. Roth was 6&nbsp;ft 6, and 250 pounds at his slimmest. Rumors started going around that a certain club was going to be showing up to shoot up Roth's shop; and it happened just as expected. They arrived at the shop with their guns drawn, but one of Roth's crew got a bead on them first. Roth challenged the head biker, a big dude himself, to a one-on-one fight to settle matters. The fist fight went down right in the middle of Roth's shop, and equipment and paint cans were flying everywhere. Eventually Roth got the upper hand and "just started to beat the living crap" out of the guy.<ref name= Ganahl2011 />

After this incident, Roth took all the biker posters and made a big bonfire with them — it was symbolic as well. He left that lifestyle behind at the same time. Things started winding down at the shop in the late 1960s, and in 1970 the shop folded up.<ref name="Ganah130" >{{citecitar booklivro|authorautor =Ganahl, Pat|titletítulo= Ed "Big Daddy" Roth: His Life, Times, Cars, and Art|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=MYY6vqRzLn4C&pg=PA113|accessdateacessodata= 15 Julyde julho de 2012|datedata= 15 Marchde março de 2011|publisherpublicado= CarTech Inc|isbn=978-1-934709-67-2|pagespáginas=130}}</ref>

Ed Roth was married four times. His fourth wife, Ilene, lives in [[Manti, Utah]], where Ed Roth spent the final years of his life. Roth joined [[The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]] in 1974. Roth shaved off his goatee and was heavily involved in social work through his church. His brother Gordon also became a Mormon. But the mischievous gleam that would now and again pop into Roth's eyes when telling stories really never went away.<ref name= Ganahlp9 >{{citecitar booklivro|authorautor =Pat Ganahl|titletítulo=Ed "Big Daddy" Roth: His Life, Times, Cars, and Art|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=MYY6vqRzLn4C&pg=PR9|accessdateacessodata=12 Decemberde dezembro de 2012|datedata=15 Marchde março de 2011|publisherpublicado=CarTech Inc|isbn=978-1-934709-67-2|pagespáginas=9–}}</ref>
