Legendary Builders George Barris & EldenTitus are teaming up to build one of the most fantastic, mind-blowing roadsters you will ever see !
And, in their Exclusive Interviews, Jonnie was the first one they told about it at the 26th Annual KKOA Leadsled Spectacular in Salina, Kansas in 2006 !
_________________________________________________________________________________
NOW, in this follow-up Interview at Darryl Starbird's 44th Annual Tulsa Rod & Custom Show, this past February, Elden filled Jonnie in on the latest details, the Car Kulture DeLuxe Connection, AND he supplied some great pix of the Vibrasonic's Build-Up ! PLUS, hear George Barris and his comments on projects with Elden !!
The neat thing is you can follow the build-up in Car Kulture DeLuxe, and get ready for the unveiling at Darryl Starbird's 45th Annual Tulsa Rod & Custom Show in February, 2009 !
While Elden handles most of the bodywork with help from Matt Ahern, Jack Marinelli of Midwest Kustoms has put together the frame, Randy Sharpe of DeLuxe Auto Interior Stylists will handle the upholstery, and the running gear will be helmed by a Buick Nailhead, and a Fatman Fabrications front-end.
( Hey, wait a minute ! Hope you guys aren't thinking of pulling the Nailhead out of my '61 Invicta that's down at Darryl's Museum ! JK)

NOTE: My thanks to one of the "good guys", and, a GREAT friend, Elden Titus, for supplying TONS of photos of the "Vibrasonic" Project for me to use in these Installments ! JK
