What is a Cal-looker, and how is it supposed to be used?

<< < (4/4)

bullitt:
basically for me  every cal look has to be a STREET RACER.
that means it could go fast but drivable as everyday car and long distance ranges..
u drive your car to events...u take away filters, u put stinger on, slicks, and here u go.....(have u ever seen the film "two lane blacktop"?
with the same cars in the weekend evening u go to in town and meet ur friends, then u do some cruisin...and coming back home u find a "FAST AND FURIOUS SON" on a red traffic light.....and u teach him the culture of engines and cars in eight of a mile.....
there is somethin fashionable, something strong in night street racing.....
interesting part of a cal is that it can blow a delta integrale today as it blew a camaro ss in the seventies.
dont u love to be simply OUTLAW??? ;)
cal look have to catch some eyes too...it is not easy to do the right style.
for me cal needs to be different to the original.....u must see tht that car has "something" even if the engine is off.
thts why i always tell to DECHROME. chromed cars are too similar to original...not real hot rodding look.
but understand me...dont exagerate: a light thing on the exterior: clean, smart, sporty...thts all.

TiDi:
For me a cal-looker is the sensation that you feel when you drive the first time the car with the good stance, and a good motor......

Do you remember you 6v 1200 with original stance??
Now think about your 1776 48 ida's engine on the same bug with dropped front.... ;D ;D ;D ;D

that's it!!!!

Obviously the look.... I like decromed original color nice period 5 lug (vw or porsche pattern) wheels...

Eddie DVK:
Cal Look should be, the stance, right wheels, powerfull engine, nice single color, (with or without chrome doesn t matter for me)
Drive it to a show, show it, race it hard, and drive it home.
