IN THIS FEATURE The humble hybrid Barris kustom cars From green to mean A hybrid hotrod?

'We sculpted the front end,' he says. 'We built an aftermarket part that would go down the centre and to the right and left of the grille cavity. We left the grille and the lights but we did some graphic paintwork from the headlights to make it look longer. Then we put a half-eyebrow wheel well on all four corners and put on 18" American Racing wheels with new BF Goodrich no-Flat tyres.

'On the rear we built a spoiler on the upper part of the deck. The front end was a drastic change style wise with more aerodynamics and more sculpting, more character. We had protrusions and different lines that followed the proportions of the car to make it more interesting.

The colour scheme is particularly eye-catching

'The biggest major physical change was the colour graphics. We followed across the front over the front rear wells down into the rear wheel wells and around the back in a very rich Kelly green matrix paint. Then the upper part of the car was done in a matrix pagan gold and then it was hand detailed. So the paint, when you first look at it, is what makes your eyes turn around.'
