Read the book and find out!
....Seriously, it's been awhile since I read the book, but he started out pinstriping and paint and body and went on to fabrication. He and Barris were the "Kings" of Kustom Kars back then. The cars were displayed at car shows around the country (for a fee) and licensed to Mattell 'Hot Wheels" and AMT and Revell as models. It was the glory days of "Kar Kulture". He also made $$ off of "Rat Fink" and other art. A very talented man.
