he is the first guy to do candy apple paint in detroit and the first guy to put hydraulics on a car. google search his name. he worked for BARRIS in the 50s. he started alot of customizing traditions and was never credited for alot of it.
If you have ever read any Custom car book's........... you know he is one of the top guy's in this field, only with other name's such as George Barris, The Alexander Bros in Detroit, Gene Winfield in California, Jack Florence here in Mich, Darryl Starbird in Oklahoma, and the Owner of The Custom Car Hall of Fame in Afton, Ok. And there are many other's........ alot of these guy's worked/learned from the King George Barris, and so on.
