George Barris, a true Pioneer in the industry of Customized Automobiles. George Barris the Kustom King. I glued many of his creations together in the last 2/3rds. of the first 15 years of my life. RIP George.

[Homstead]

Sorry to hear about George! He will always be a legend

 

[Moparsmitty]

What's amazing to me is that someone who did body, paint, welding, fiberglass, etc. most of his life lived to be damn near 90 years old. Especially when you consider the paint and chemicals they used back in those days. He had a good long life, met a lot of famous people. RIP George.

I visited his shop in West Hollywood last summer (2014). He was such a great guy to talk to! He took my girlfriend and I into the back rooms to show us the batmobile, munstermobile and the kargoyle! He showed us the stacks and stacks of shoeboxes filled with drawings and designs then signed a tshirt for me when we were leaving. He was not afraid to design a car outside of the box. The custom car world, and car world in general lost a legend this week!
