Ed must've known what he was doing, for Bob to this day refers to the Mysterion as "a total piece of sh--." "It broke all the time," he says.
In closing, consider this: Forty years after Ed Roth built a frivolous car that showed briefly at best, a 30-something kid with a family and mortgage painstakingly collected, modified, and made the parts he needed to faithfully recreate it.
Roth would've undoubtedly shook his head and asked why the kid didn't build something of his own design, however, I don't think even Roth fully understood his impact on American pop culture.

Roth's legacy began in Southern California in the mid-1950s when he established his reputation as a custom pinstriper and painter of flames.He then branched out into what he called "weirdo shirts," which donned famed airbrushed creations such as grotesque heads surrounded by flames - a high fashion of the Southern California street racing scene.
Roth's genius lies in the fact he had uncovered what the youth of the era craved, a quality evidenced by the fact that he was building counterculture cars for the market Detroit neglected.

 Amazon.ca: Rat Fink: The Art of Ed: Books: Ed "Big Daddy" Roth   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
An homage to Ed Roth, the creator of the iconic Rat Fink and a pioneer of hot-rod culture, this complete retrospective of Ed Roth’s life and work contains appreciations by fellow artists as well as never-before-seen photographs of Roth’s studio and the creations born there.
Unlike "Ed Big Daddy Roth: His Life, Times, Cars, and Art" by Pat Ganahl (which is also great), this book focuses more on Roth's art rather than his car creations (although there are quite a few photos of the cars too).
While the claim made by the book that Roth was the greatest artist of the 20th century may be a bit of an overstatement, his influence on boys (mostly) who grew up during the 60's and 70's can hardly be overstated.
