"Sam Barris with the Herbert liner frame, they built the body in a week or so for Bonnville."

 

I love Kustom so much that it hurts....

I believe this is the Chet Herbert "Beast" that Art Chrisman drove with an injected Hemi to become a charter member of the 200 MPH Club (1952). A photo from the Barris Book can be seen by scrolling UP at the following link:

I think it may currently be undergoing restoration (?) .

 

Sorry dude-not trying to steal your thunder.I literally have 1000's of old pics on my computer,I've been saving them for years.my external hard drives are busting at the seams,I've slowly been moving them to flicker so I can free up space on my computer and share them in large format here on the hamb.Most of these I honestly cant remember where they originated from,but let me go down on record as promoting your website and encouraging others to visit.
