George Barris RIP

We have lost the ultimate car builder. George Barris passed away.
This man is responsible for many "Kustom" car builds. Notably the Bat-Mobile.
This man will surely be missed in all the car "Kustom" worlds.

He should have the Munster Koach be his hearse and every freak in a custom should join that procession. He was a very gifted guy that gave us a whole new way to look at messing with old rides. A class act and mentor to all of us with a copy of those early hot rod and custom mags rolled up in our back pockets.
