I will give him an A for creative thinking, but an F for the finished product. It's a shame some C3's gave their lives for that car. It makes baby Jesus cry. :cry

Barris is cool. Heck, he made Dragula. It's doesn't get much more bad azz than that. Barris has the touch. Has the rare talent to make cool customs, unlike this weird freak Vette on eBay.

Barris is :cool: .....I didn't mean to sound demeaning.....although some of his later work is quite 'dated' now & that particular vette has been further modified after Barris initially did it. :eek:
