Do you remember a model garbage truck that had been tricked out-had surf boards on the sides and people dancing in the back. I was trying to remember if that was Barris.

bbcar Prowler Junkie Posts: 328 From: St. Louis, Mo. U.S.A. Registered: JUL 2004	posted 08-26-2004 12:02 AM The Ala Kart was always my Favorite, I almost cried when Rod and Custom posted pictures of it burned. There are a couple of copies of it now and the orig. has been restored. A local guy who lives in Webster Groves a suburb of St. Louis ownes several Barris cars including either a copy or the orig. Ala Kart. He also has a copy or the orig. Dream Truck. Barry I just remembered the guy in Webster Groves is Kurt McCormick. I remember him from a White Castle where a lot of guys street raced out of, I only remember hearing of him racing 1 time, a corvette that had never been beat, and I heard he blew it away. He had a full fendered red 32 ford with a blown Hemi. TF. This would have been about 1970. I remember that the Vette was about a 64 coupe in primer with a built 396 and a solid rear axle and slicks.

After all these years and looking back, I think I've grown to like Starbird's work better. Both were a lot of fun.
