Barris Custom it must be Chav. I also had a cool article...
...stashed away, written by Chili's son. It also mentions the Barris connection. Read here.
*Note:
Something I am happy to share; a very welcome email I received from Chili's son, Curt Catallo, 5/26/2008:
"Thanks for taking the time to take such stunning photography and to write such a concise review of the Danbury Mint version of my dad's car. As excited as he would be to have his car so painstakingly recreated, he'd have been as thrilled as I was to see his car captured on your site. While the Danbury crew didn't have the car for "a couple of years", they definitely made the most of the time they had with her. It's fair to say that they know as much about the car as I do by this point. They created it as it was on the day of the album cover shoot (and the June '61 "Hot Rod" cover shoot), and were kind enough to make a couple of changes to the model that I haven't had time to perform on the car itself (the tailpipes, namely). As you may have gathered, I'm glad to see that you were as impressed with the work as our family is.?
Thanks much,
curt catallo

...had the "Eliminator" hot rod built and owned it.
