 I would like to see pictures of various Bahama Blue Cal Look Beetle with varoius style wheels and pictures of the engine compartment. If you are using stock brakes or if you have disc brakes and if you have the stock beam or if you have a narrow beam and how narrow did you have it done. Pictures of the interior and the underside + whatever else you want to feature.

Thanks

 Yes you guest it after seen Laurent Dubois in France Bahama Blue Cal look and I also have like Jason Foster's Cal Looker as well. That will be easy for me as the engines is done and so is the trans. I only need to do a 4 inch narrow beam with front disc and new tires all around. I will talk to Buddy Hale after the Classic about the paint. Those 48 IDA'S woke me up a few weeks ago LOL !!!!!!!

Yes these are DOT M&H in rear and 22" front runners on CMS 6" rears and 3 1/2" fronts for the strip but sometimes see street use as well. The fronts are kinda sketchy on the street though.  Don't think I've got any more pics of them right now and they aren't on the car at the moment.

That...that right there says more than 1000 static shots. Man, I have a serious jones going right now.

I know this is a thread about B'hama blue but really stance, wheel, and probably best define a car. A car could wear anything short of Viking Purple and look killer if the foundation is right.

57 southbound just down from Imperial Hwy?

That's it. I went to CSUF and later worked near Orangethorpe and Placenta. Had to sit on that stretch of asphalt enough times to memorize it. Glad I don't have to make that commute anymore.
