For incredible color video from a 1956 or 57 car show where this gullwing, Barris' Kopper Kart, Norm's Kookie T, and lots of other kustoms were filmed: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/?p=1836 this gullwing is at the one minute mark, and 3 minutes 30 seconds for both exterior and interior coverage.

For a write up about it: http://books.google.com/books?id=10di738DvjoC&pg=PA23&lpg=PA23&dq=gullwing+von+dutch&source=bl&ots=LkYIpr5Lye&sig=mNkL9bZeJo8hhkVsDdMVuJmkJWw&hl=en&ei=ENB6S73JJIq-sgOVuM2yCw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=2&ved=0CA4Q6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=&f=false
It was Earl Bruce's Gullwing, and according to a thread on the HAMB http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-243779.html it might have been the first flame job Von Dutch did

Above: the Geraghty-Crawford grasshopper that Von Dutch striped and lettered

Above: what the dumbasses that bought Grabowski's Kookie T did to it, two better images of it at the end of my gallery http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/11/replica-of-norms-kookie-t-i-doubt.html

And a couple images of Roth's Excalibur and Tweedy Pie

all of these are from http://t-bucketworld.blogspot.com/ but the guy who put it on the web only had about 2 dozen posts total.
