So this is what Barris has been up to...

Was at a local Churchs' Charity Bike/Hot Rod show today and this full-a-plenty Barris Tagged "Rat Rod" of a thing showed up. It had tags on the side, radiator shell, on the skull on the front, on the dash....

Now im not bagging on the car cause it's not right (definitely not my taste), but rather confused and hugely dissapointed since my knowledge of Barris' history of Customs....Is he now "tagging" cars of this nature.

It had Tombstone Kustoms on the side (see pict of balding head dude). Fibergl*** body, radials all around, disk brakes in front, some crazy/un like-able steering setup....

Take a look...

Opinions?

 

By the way, the HAMB Chop Car took 1st place against lowriders, mini-trucks, rat rods and a trailer queen (56 Chevy)

 

Somehow im not surprised, im not impressed with it at all. Tombstone... is that the same tombstone from monster garage and monster house? he drove the blown chopped he****...

 

From what I overhead...I think it's the same guy...but im not familiar with him since I dont watch the show.

 

anyone can buy and put barris badges on anything now as he sells them

 

Yea thats the same guy, wearing the WCC jacket.

 

I hope that isn't true...

 

Doesn't relly look like a Barris kinda thing.
Overall it's not a bad lookin' car.
I've seen a hell of a lot worse get ataboys on here.

 

i thought he worked for him(barris) and may be that is tombstone's personal car (it does say tombstones customs on it)

 

It does go well together, its just the red wheels/flatblack thing thats a turn off for me anyways, but it is clean and looks well built so i will give the credit for that.

 

Barris has not built a car in years. He does not have a body shop any longer but rents the back of his showroom to a collision shop. The cars which he might still design, are either built privately or have been built in **** Deans shop with Barris badges attached. And for other cars, Barris badges can be purchased whether you have a Barris car or not.

 

Can't wait to read the FULL story in Ol Skool Rodz!!! Next cover? we can only hope!

 

Other than a few details, I think it's a pretty neat car. I'd be happy to drive it.

The details and the paint and wheel color can be changed pretty easily if wanted.

 

that thing looks better than the thing he had at gnrs but i still dont **** the paint or wheels for that matter

 

By the way, the HAMB Chop Car took 1st place against lowriders, mini-trucks, rat rods and a trailer queen (56 Chevy) With all the work that went into it and me directing traffic at the HAMB Chop, it better win awards Norm. KNUX!

 

The thing at the GNRS was owned by big SWAG , MG voice. It was built by Ian Roussel, Way Custom Metalworks. KNUX!

digg'in the 6 with dual uno's

 

Toumbstone has worked for barris for several years and i think still dose,,,

 

Cute.

 

couldnt have said it better myself....two words with my take from me...

cookie cutter

 

Hey 53Burp. It's Big Swag,not ****. Being Jesse James stalker you should know that!
That thing looks like another Bo Huff thing. No thanks!

 

whats funny is people started building stuff like this to be different!!!! Now these thing are the COOKIE CUTTER.....And boring......

 

In that closeup of the Barris crest that frame looks a bit Frankenstien to me. I don't mean that in any good way.

 

Whats even funnier is that if you're into Hotrodding at all you're already different. The gimikey **** like the tall shifters, Skulls anywhere and everywhere, satin paint, spiderwebs/gaudy-outlandish pinstriping on every surface, chopped to within an inch of its life, channeled the rest of the way to death, sitting on the floor garbage just makes em look like posers and attention starved little kids.

I'm not saying that any of these things are bad, but if some is good, alot doesnt always mean better.

 

I was going to say the same thing. It looks a little rough to me too.

 

Ha ha, you forgot these two
Pompador hairdo-check
Betty Boop Lookalike girlfriend - Check

 

GEEEEEEEESSS!!! Now I'm glad I sold my flat black, wide whites, red rim, F100 now that it's not COOOOOOL!! You guys keep us aware of all the lates trends... OK? THANKS!!

 

That's funny.

There is a rat fink painted on the dash.

 

Thats what I get for looking for one, I knew it had to have one somewhere. +15pts!
