Here is a link to some of Barris' creations.

IMO Most of his "creations" were hideous..... Though his early stuff were works of art.... such as the Hirohata Merc etc...

Agreed. But as I continue working on my '59 GMC, I've gained a new-found appreciation of his "Kopper Kart". With its chop-top, sectioning, channeling, and suspension mods, the roof sits about 20" lower than my truck!
