Posted by rariccardi in Featured, Kustoms on November 8, 2009
Here is the info on the newest Barris DVD by the talented guys at The Mad Fabricators Society You need to buy this. See a little known side of the “King of Kustomizers”
Well after a year of working on this DVD I finally have them done and available on DVD
Many people don’t know George the photographer.. He was a HUGE part of documenting our history all over the states and brought it all to the magazines for the world to see…The movie is a journey through 1000’s of pictures that george shot for the mags and his own use..these are all mounted on a 14×17 sheet all hand cut out by Shirley Barrisand taped on to the sheet.. She was a trooper!!
So Brett approached me a while back and asked if I wanted to team up and put out a DVD so I started going though all the pix and was overwhelmed with all the fantastic pix.. but how do you make this into a move?? So I built a rig that allows me to mount my camera and move it forward and back and i’m able to move the sheet left and right… So once I shot that we needed ContentSo Ana Marco (from that mag) set us up with Larry Watson.. so we had him come to Barris and the two sat and went through all the pix and told stories about a bunch of them..(can be a DVD on its own) After that we got a hold of Brad Masterson who is renting the space next to George’s shop on Atlantic and has it set up with a bunch of old Barris Memorabilia and Pix.. George shows us around the shop then we hops into Brads Chopped Chevy and we hit some of the locations the pix were shot at.. After that we meet up with Greg Sharp from the NHRA museum and he gives us even more detail on George the photographer…Along with pictures the are in the movie the DVD will have a slide show feature that will have pix in sections Kustoms, Hot Rod, Bikes etc..that you will be a to hit play and just check out the pictures.. on-top of that the whole thing is Scored Live by the Dynotones…

1970 Chevrolet Impala Low rider from New Jersey!
Posted by rariccardi in Featured on June 26, 2009
This was filmed Saturday June 7, 2009 at the Fleetwood Country Cruize in London, Ontario Canada.
All this one needs is a chain steering wheel! and who knows, it may have hydraulics already! its perfect for Cheech and Chong!
The nice red metallic paint more than the actual model of car got my attention, it sure is done up nice!, and a Hockey Goalie helmet to match! (notice the protective chain!) this car appears to be from New Jersey! and the plate really helps id this one! its a 70 Impala.

George Barris on the corner of Riverside and Geroge Barris Place on NOHO surrounded by a camera crew. Is there any place he would rather be? I don’t think so. Here is one of the many interviews on the day that LA named a steet after the King of the Kustomizers.
