If I did another project...

[Lee.C]

I would have to agree with Jim - I would love to see a PROPER pre cal looker in the UK and I would say your the man to do it 

Or you could do a nice old skool Manx 

[Stephan S]

Three cars in mind...
- '50s 356 with Type 1 engine, IDAs, etc.
- Danny Gabbard-style Notchback - See August '03 VWTrends
- '68 Sunroof Bug
Cheers Keith!

How about a Cal-look split vert? Have'nt seen one tastefully done yet. The ultimate IMO. Care to share again those sneak peek pics?
Hmmmmm?

1. Better rob a bank!
2. No!

...voting for:

1. pre-looker-cause you should know how to do it with attitude
2. 356 "looker": mixture between outlaw/cal look: with big type1 engine and some oldschool 5 lug mags-depends also on what´s left after building a house

1963 Buick LaSabre Station wagen, 9 passenger, with 325 Wildcat engine, Dynoflo transmission, roof-mounted sky lights... what? Did I say something wrong? Hell, that's what I drove to school when my '67 was down for improvements. KS would be styling in that ride.

Oh yeah baby! Slammed on Radars, metalflake green with wood trim, tiki interior, lakes pipes... now we're talking!

Others have been suggesting putting your car history in a blender and mixing them... How about mixing the three main topics of your books - into one car:

Cal Look Style + Big Engine + Coachbuilt Car

It surely must be what is closest to your heart, since you did all that research and all that writing... I say go for it!

I have the perfect 1500S notch for this project ?. A 63 LHD .

[FUSENTASTEN]

I`m not sure who U are, or how you look.....but why just do the "CAR-THING"....don`t we amire the people as much as they cars...?
Why do another gasser-copy-spin-off-kind-a-car....why not do a makeover on the person.....just become a cal-look-a-like.....everybody can do a roof-chop.....it takes a man to have a nose-job.....

I picture you a tall, dark man....maybe you should go for a Darrel Vittone-look, lets say 1974....ish...
...or maybe a bucket of grease will make your hear look like the one that Lee Leighton had....if you are some kind of sqitzo.....maybe a look-a-like of the Schley Brothers could be something.

Ofcourse you should do it properly and also build a cal-look-a-like car too....

Or grow some decent beard and maybe a ponytail…and just look like the main man Keith Seume….he would probarbly come up with something that nobody had ever thought about….that`s car-wise…..

Good luck anyway……

That's the easiest idea!

 What's wrong with a moustache and a pony tail?   

[too old for this]

 What's wrong with a moustache and a pony tail?   

what about a Riva,with the hull cut for a set of empi split rim fives,with matching rims for the trailer

[Dave Galassi]

Pre-Aronson-'63-Style car, with correct, period-tuned motor, 32NDIX, single port, 88mm big bores, Racer Brown cam, H-case, 010 dist, couple of chrome doo-dads, Anchor-style header, ET mags, Bluestreaks, period tach, stock height, full bumpers and trim.
Or maybe a '67 done a la Don Crane-style, stock exterior, stock height, genuine Berms, 88 x 74 motor with Type 311 heads, 48IDAs, Anchor-header, early Berg linkage, etc.....
You know the recipe, just a matter of finding the right ingredients to make it taste good.

There's enough 12-11 sec Cal Look cars.  

I can't agree any more, Jim.  It can be done on a budget, too, save for maybe the wheels.  A drag class I would love to see and be a part of. 

[The Ideaman]

It's gonna be this car.


No paint, redo the pan.  Stock geared trans and discs all around.

[Fastbrit]

No paint,

That means it's unfinished...

[The Ideaman]

Ok, the paint that's left on it.

keith,are you allergic to ghia suggestion

[Fastbrit]

keith,are you allergic to ghia suggestion

Even though I was always brought up to believe Ghias were Beetles for girls (ONLY JOKING! ), I have to admit that the number of great looking Ghias that I have seen can be counted on the fingers of one and a half hands.They are real difficult to get sitting right. Do you keep bumpers or delete them? Trim? Wheels? I lespecially oved the red and black one which Jim Kurlinski picked up about three years ago. Beautiful! Orange, sitting low and nose-down on Center Lines, plaid interior, IDA motor (naturally) and C/R trans, full set of black-faced VDO gauges, Momo Prototipo wheel.... Mmmm, sounds good already.

[bathing ape]

the answer you have given is the reason i'd like to see you do one,do you leave bumpers,trim etc

[jick]

the india red ghia in volksworld 1 with the T-bars & welded up nostrils is still the nicest ghia i've seen........

oh...apart from the ape's....

i would like to build a 70's cal look( lucas , 8 spokes , etc...) or an pre cal look like andi's car  love it

[Tobi/DFL]

Hey Speedwell,
how about you building such a car once again? as I´ve seen in another thread you obviously already have the right parts to start such a project!
BTW: I´ve just gotten the February Volksworld (thanks to JG54´s Max Jamieson) and read the feature about your car. It´s really great, dude! I´ve seen your car at last year´s DDDay but obviously haven´t seen all  those fantstic details...
Bye,
Tobi
