Barris Kustoms Snake Pit With Joe Bailon And Gene Winfield

       Barris Kustoms 🐍 to it Pit With Joe Bailon And Gene Winfield
          Barris Kustoms Snake Pit was a two seater,a wrap around
     windshield,six engines, fourty-eight header pipes,twelve four
     barrel carbureters,twelve velocity stacks,six Good Years tires 
    super large,six super large Craigar SS Diamond Five Spoke
    Mags.Everything under the body,was done by Barris Kustoms.
          Joe Bailon was responsible for the fork tung  custom nose
     body with two pointed grills in fork tung area.The middle of the
     body has two long bonnet hoods,with two pointed scoops,two 
     prop up hinges,six Ford Cobra engines,twelve ribbed valve 
     covers.The flared fenders,a signature feature of Joe Bailon's
     award winning 1960 Cadillac custom pickup truck,with the
     same Craigar SS Diamond Five Spoke Mags.The two tan 
     custom tall buckets seats, stand high over the custom wrap 
     around windshield. Joe'Candy Apple Red' Bailon paint was 
     used both on Miss Elegance with gauges like a airplane,and a
     '57 Buick Candy Wagon done in this color.Also a famous 1951 
     Mercury was done in Candy Red.
           Joe Bailon dropped gold toner in Maroon paint accidently,
      blending together,causing Candy Apple Red in 1951. 
     Check out all the photos below.(He has Candy Apple Green too.)
          Gene Winfield did the custom paint job,the white,oranged,and
     tangerine spaced blocked.The custom paint job,is amazing on this 
     super custom car.Why shouldn't it.Gene is the true King of 
     Kustomizers,and has been doing still at 90 years old.He designed,
     built and painted,famous cars:Reactor the lime gold,emerald
     Kitty Kar, for Cat Woman,Eartha Kitt,used in Batman.Also 
     Strip Star,The famous asyemmetrical,higher wrap around wind-
     shield ,with a box type top,that pivots down over the drivers side.
     A wrap around windshield,that is on the passengers side.This is
     Strip Star,that is pearl tangaine,Ford Cobra 289 CID,four five 
     spokes mags he designed.It originally had four long knock off,
     three prong caps.The fenders,look the same,accept,a section is
     cut out on right side with a custom grill,that matches,the middle
     grill.The left side as two different lights: rectangular and round
     light, floating headlight design.Gene has built many lead sleads,
     and took Barris signature title.www.kingofkustomizers.com/
     Lead sled video of Winfield's.
         While the Barris Kustoms sign says 1971 Record Holder,it
     was never used on the Salt Flats in Utah,for making speed
     records.It also wasn't used in a movies,like Barris Kustoms
     Vox Mobile.Both vehicles were never used for the original
     purpose.But boy,that would be great at a car show.I would
     like to drag with it,down the dragstrip,and see how fast it
     would go,even though,it would mean,rebuilding the engines,
     and also checking out the whole car,suspension,since it 
     plays havoc with the car.This happens driving a car at high
     speeds.
