VINTAGE AUTO GARAGE

George Barris explains how he and brother Sam did their custom painting and early flame jobs in the 1950s. No one can tell this story as well as George Barris, a fine photographer and the man who built many of the cars shown in this book.

People are as interesting in painting and customizing now, as they were in the 1950s. Everyone wants to know how to do a flame job, or how to run a pair of pinstripes straight down the side of their car.

This particular book contains more than just the photos and words of George Barris. This volume contains first-person side-bars by legendary painters and builders like Dean Jeffries and Larry Watson, describing how they developed their talents and what it was like to work directly with the Barris brothers.
