Title: Cal Look Split Window Post by: LuftsickTero on May 13, 2010, 18:27:46 pm I have been semi-seriously looking for a new project and came across a '52 Split that's for sale..
I was originally looking for something around 10 years younger, but on the other hand the body work (labour cost as I am not going to do rust repairs myself) and paint will cost the same to all Beetles, so maybe it would be more worthwhile to spend it to older car.. Somehow figuring out the layout for cool Cal Look Split is more difficult than to the early 60's car that I had originally in my mind. The dash is especially difficult area where my imagination shoots blanks.. Having pods to house set of VDOs has been done in both iconic Splits but doing something different and keeping it Cal Look and not turn it to Custom ??? Choosing colour is also difficult, but have few ideas. Somehow bright colours seem odd, but don't know why. I don't know why Split would be more difficult but maybe it is so since there has only been two famous examples in early days of the Look and not a many more since? Let's see some examples of Splits (and Zwitters) if you have them.. Other than the Buehler or Mahaffey/Craig cars too.

Title: Re: Cal Look Split Window Post by: Neil Davies on May 14, 2010, 09:19:06 am I decided a long time ago to paint my '51 in Porsche Conda Green, like the Mahaffey/Craig car, although I've owned it for five years now and done nothing to it at all! I'm just paranoid about someone getting there first! :o
I like the late '60's early '70s Porsche colours - they fit the era of cal look that I like. Title: Re: Cal Look Split Window Post by: LuftsickTero on May 14, 2010, 09:43:13 am Well, while you were away from the scene the original colours became popular. My car won't be the original Chesnut Brown for sure.. Wow, looking exclusively at the stock color chart, those are some challenging colors to pick from. If not the Chestnut Brown, what color are you leaning towards?What I meant that the fashion changed which necessarily wasn't all good as it killed a lot of innovation and introduced a lot more rules. What I have to do is sort of try to figure out what you would have done in 1979 and that wasn't looking at the '52 color chart and choosing from one of 5 colours ;) I decided a long time ago to paint my '51 in Porsche Conda Green, like the Mahaffey/Craig car, although I've owned it for five years now and done nothing to it at all! I'm just paranoid about someone getting there first! :o I like that car too much to replicate any of it.

I know what you mean, I'm not going to build a full replica, but something that takes inspiration from it.

It is not a zwitter model - front windows are in one piece, and on the rear, car has heart shaped lights.

Ive seen a few pics of it before, but know nothing about it. It belongs to Russ Welch. The restoration took approx. five years due mostly to Russ' declining health. Dave Galassi helped considerably with the build. Here's a few more pics... The picture of Greg Aronson looking in the window brings back an interesting story. We had driven the car over to Sarge's for a get together and everyone wanted to go for a ride, including Greg. So, we idled out onto the main drag and at the light, I jump on it and row through the gears. As I back off the throttle, Greg simply says two things.............Mahaffey's car was louder, and change the idles to 65's. One answer I can't vouch for, but the other was right on the money. When I worked for Russ in the 80's, he was out racing Class 10 1600 cars in offroad events quite often during the year with another racer named Roger Mortensen. Little did I know until that day at Sarge's that Greg also campaigned a Class 10 car and raced against Russ back in the 80's. They were old friends. Not much Greg hasn't done...............or Russ for that matter. We're hoping to make a few passes on that car and the Pepco car (back on the road again!) at Bugin next month. Should be a lot of fun!

The chop is beautiful, the workmanship is superb, but I just don't like the overall concept. I don't think it needed the split window adding. I'm not a fan of the whole satin paint thing, and the stance is wrong. Personally, I'd have kept it as a threefold ragtop oval window bug, but still done the chop, shiny paint in something obscure and dark, amd fitted it up with a set of Ercos.
Russ and Marc's cars are more my cup of tea, and exactly what I'd got planned for mine... :'( Title: Re: Cal Look Split Window Post by: Zach Gomulka on March 25, 2013, 09:56:03 am I don't think it's cal look at all, but it's still bad ass.
