Kustom King George Barris

George Barris is the self-proclaimed "King of Custom Cars, hot rods, cars of the stars and self promotion."  He's credited for building the original Batmobile, The Dukes of Hazard's General Lee, The Munsters Koach, as well as the cars for The Beverly Hillbillies, Starsky & Hutch, The Monkess and dozens more.  He did the modifications for KITT of Knight Rider fame and is rumored to have done the De Lorean for Back to the Future (though many people said he did not).  His clients run the gamut from Frank Sinatra, Elvis, and Elton John to Bob Hope, Bing Crosby and Sonny & Cher.
