Corona, CA: Son of Rat Fink creator Ed ‘Big Daddy’ Roth tries to preserve his legacy

In the den of Darryl Roth’s Corona home, cartoon ogres cover the walls, staring back at him with salivating tongues, bloodshot eyes, jagged claws and gnashing teeth. To Roth, the images represent rebellion, a gloriously grotesque imagination — and his father.

West Coast Customs (WCC) ends season two of their hit show with a bang on VELOCITY. Inside West Coast Customs, where audiences get a front row seat to outrageous car builds, will feature music and pop sensation Justin Bieber and his extreme car request in the episode called "Bieber's Caddy." On November 6th, 2011 at 8:00 PM ET/CT Inside West Coast Customs works with Justin Bieber and GM to create the sleekest CTS-V on Earth. Watch as the crew takes a 2011 Cadillac CTS-V and turns it into the world's ONLY blacked out suicide CTS-V.

"It's not every day the world's most influential and powerful teen sensation comes into my shop. But when he came in with so much positivity, creativeness, talent and direction, I knew this would be a great build. Together, we created something that Justin didn't have.... the sickest CTS-V on Earth, that even exceeded Justin's expectations," said Ryan Friedlinghaus, CEO of West Coast Customs.

The swashbucklers drank their grog and discoursed, in typical sailor fashion, on their scandalous high seas detour between Singapore and Bombay and London and Port Said.
