Title: Another 67-built Post by: Wunder Wim on November 21, 2010, 09:40:57 am Hello everyone,
just wanted to share some pictures of the new project I started. The story behind the car is way to long but anyway: I started the work on this 67 about ten years ago. It was to be a present from my dad to my mom, but a lot of things happened lately, so I got the car. Now about the car itself: body was partly sandblasted and welded up as factory specs, the floorpan and all the bolt on parts were also sandblasted and painted. Every bolt, nut and washer was sandblasted and cadnium plated or seomething like that. But now I'll the pictures speak for themselves: (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/DSC09629.jpg) (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/DSC09628.jpg) (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/DSC09630.jpg) (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/DSC09634.jpg) (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/DSC09664.jpg) (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/DSC09659.jpg) (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/DSC09635.jpg) (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/DSC09665.jpg) (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/DSC09637.jpg) Here some pictures of the parts that came with he car: (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/DSC09674.jpg) (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/DSC09638.jpg) I know some of you won't consider it to be a Cal Looker because of the chroom trim, but I'm keeping it. It will be some kind of DKP III -style car. Regards Wim. Title: Re: Another 67-built Post by: Wünderwolff on November 21, 2010, 10:08:56 am No posting! Keep building!
Title: Re: Another 67-built Post by: Rennsurfer on November 21, 2010, 19:40:30 pm I know some of you won't consider it to be a Cal Looker because of the chrome trim, but I'm keeping it. It will be some kind of DKP III -style car. Wim, first off... beautiful looking car. Second, worry not what people say/think about retaining the factory trim and what's Cal Look or not. Third, you've already answered your post in the above sentence. 'Cause D.K.P. accepts Cal Look cars only. Have fun building your Cal Looker and we're looking forward to seeing more updated pictures of it.

The plans for the motor: something around 2100cc, fuel injected and most of all driveble for the street. I plan to use it as much as I can...Title: Re: Another 67-built Post by: mychatype3 on November 21, 2010, 21:03:36 pm Nice one Wim, cool bug with a great history, TOP.

Title: Re: Another 67-built Post by: Wunder Wim on December 21, 2010, 16:33:00 pm Just time for a little update:
The stock parts of the electrics are almost done. Everything is connected and instead of putting in a new loom, I decided to give it a littel bit of a clean up. Guess it came out ok. (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/DSC00184.jpg) And this is how it all looks under the hood. (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/DSC00190.jpg) (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/DSC00189.jpg) One door is allmost done, just waiting for some parts to replace the rubbers of the quaterlights. (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/DSC00188.jpg) And just one shot from under the fuelcell. Some parts will be changed or added (dual master cilinder and a line-lock). (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/DSC00186.jpg) Thursday will be a fine day as I'm expecting some parts to be delivered but I'll keep you updated Title: Re: Another 67-built Post by: thehanz DVK on December 21, 2010, 19:50:51 pm nice car nice color and good plans, i see al lot off similarity's with mine, succes with the build and keep us posted...

What will you run for wheels, motor, etc.?

Title: Re: Another 67-built Post by: Diederick/DVK on January 29, 2011, 18:05:58 pm sounds good!
but are you sure the FK-7 isn't a typo? Title: Re: Another 67-built Post by: lowfastbus on January 29, 2011, 18:13:43 pm Nice name change ;D
Title: Re: Another 67-built Post by: Wunder Wim on January 29, 2011, 18:28:08 pm sounds good! but are you sure the FK-7 isn't a typo? Nope FK-7 it is 288° duration 0.357 lift at cam, gives around 12.7mm lift with 1.4s Title: Re: Another 67-built Post by: Sander/DVK on January 30, 2011, 10:00:15 am Hi Wim, I think it looks 'Wunderbar' ;) Keep on the good work.
Title: Re: Another 67-built Post by: JeePee/DVK on January 30, 2011, 10:26:48 am Hi Wim, I think it looks 'Wunderbar' ;) Keep on the good work. +1 8) Title: Re: Another 67-built Post by: nicolas on January 30, 2011, 11:24:20 am just a thought, but why not opt for a smaller inlet valve with the fk7? if not mistaken i think you are after torque and a smaller fastfollowing inlet just will fit this idea better IMHO...
otherwise this car looks really nice. the Wunderyearclub is coming out with some nice machinery it seems... Title: Re: Another 67-built Post by: Wunder Wim on April 20, 2011, 19:59:21 pm Just wanted to share some more pictures/ Not a lot of updates on the car.
Today I pushed her out of the garage so she could bathe in the sun. The color comes out lovely I think. (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/DSC00495.jpg) Now the garage is empty as the car is brought away to fit the headliner. In this picture you can see the Cosmic cruiser pedal (which was bought here at the lounge) that was a bitch to get right but the result makes it worthwhile... (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/DSC00497.jpg) Tomorrow is going to be a very nice day, the new wheels are coming in. But tomorrow more about this... Title: Re: Another 67-built Post by: Harry/FDK on April 20, 2011, 20:27:18 pm Awesome "Sleeper" Wim ! Keep us (me) updated about the CB Quicktune EFI !
Title: Re: Another 67-built Post by: Wunder Wim on April 22, 2011, 09:22:02 am Awesome "Sleeper" Wim ! Keep us (me) updated about the CB Quicktune EFI ! Hi Harry, thanks for the support. CB Quick tune is about to arrive in April, but it won't be for EBI to get it installed (have to build the engine first). But I'll keep you updated. Hope to get the engine (2165), gearbox and EFI installed by DDD. If I make EBI, it will be with a temperary small 1500 engine with dual port heads and IDF 36's. Greetz Wim Title: Re: Another 67-built Post by: Wunder Wim on April 22, 2011, 09:27:46 am So as promised, some pictures of the wheels that have arrived yesterday.
Get ready for some wheelporn: (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/DSC00503.jpg) (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/DSC00502.jpg) I started to clean up the seats and doorpanels. You can see the difference between the clean seat and the not cleaned yet seat. (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/DSC00508.jpg) Also cleaned up a doorpanel. Looks good for over 40 year old interior. (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/DSC00510.jpg) Next on was give the frontbeam a coat of paint: (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/DSC002332.jpg) So that's it for now. See you back soon for more updates. Title: Re: Another 67-built Post by: Christoph on April 22, 2011, 11:09:58 am wim, beautyful car.
What did you use to clean the interiour? cheers, christoph Title: Re: Another 67-built Post by: Wunder Wim on April 23, 2011, 20:34:28 pm wim, beautyful car. Hi Christoph,What did you use to clean the interiour? cheers, christoph I've used a steam cleaner I bought very cheap (Belgian readers should read this as 'in den Aldi') to clean the doorpanels and seats. Greetz Wim Title: Re: Another 67-built Post by: Wunder Wim on April 25, 2011, 06:41:54 am For those of you who are interested in cleaning your pride and joy, I just found this report on the other Cal Look Site:

I'm pleased with the fit and the overall look. Again one step forward in the built-up.

Title: Re: Another 67-built Post by: Wunder Wim on September 27, 2011, 08:37:07 am Time for a little update.
I've wired in some more electrics for the gauges and line-lock. I also re-detailled some parts because I wasn't happy with the finish. (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/project67185.jpg) (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/project67186.jpg) (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/project67187.jpg) (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/project67188.jpg) Finished of the front with narrowed beam, Koni shocks and steering damper, CB dropped spindles and disk brakes. (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/project67199.jpg) (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/project67209.jpg) (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/project67214.jpg) Couldn't resist and fitted up the wheels, just need to detail them and fit the tires. (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/project67222.jpg) (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/project67223.jpg) Rear end was stiffen up with torque bar, gear box mount and also Koni shocks. (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/project67219.jpg) (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/project67218.jpg) Title: Re: Another 67-built Post by: carlito421 on September 27, 2011, 09:29:33 am 67 with sun roof. that's realy a nice car.

Title: Re: Another 67-built Post by: Kaferdog on October 07, 2011, 18:07:08 pm Wim.....Looks like your car is gonna be "Awsome"...!!...I can't wait to see the wheels & motor on the car..!!..How far from the motor are you ..?
Title: Re: Another 67-built Post by: Wunder Wim on October 08, 2011, 08:01:26 am Wim.....Looks like your car is gonna be "Awsome"...!!...I can't wait to see the wheels & motor on the car..!!..How far from the motor are you ..? Well as for the motor, first of all I want to finish the car in and out (still got a lot to do I think)Then I'll put a small temporary 1600 cc engine with 36 IDF in to the take it to the technical control (they don't like big EFI engines that much). The plan is to build the 2165 (and gearbox) over the winter so I can put it all in by the beginning of next Aircooled season. Hope it all works out like that. Anyway I'll be a very happy men when I get to take it out for a ride with the small or big engine. Title: Re: Another 67-built Post by: Kaferdog on October 09, 2011, 04:03:49 am I know you will enjoy it !...How can ya not ...!!....... 8)

Anyway I'll be a very happy men when I get to take it out for a ride with the small or big engine. very nice car alleready! as for the big engine. it could work. i just had my fastback inspected and guess what... it passed without a hitch.amazing after all i have been through. the guy was looking ofr a really, really long time at the engine when it was on the bridge... but he didn't say a thing. of course when i left i had the carbs bark a bit ;D i couldn't resist, i was too happy with the greencrad Title: Re: Another 67-built Post by: Wunder Wim on November 24, 2011, 16:47:34 pm If just wanted to ask you guys a question:
for 1600 I have to choice of a pair of rebuild 36 IDF's or a nice pair (actually 2 pairs) of 36 DRLA's (one pair are 36D, the others 36S). Which of these carbs are better for the small 1600 engine? And if I take the DRLA's, what's the difference between the 36D's and the 36S's? Thanks Wim Title: Re: Another 67-built Post by: Zach Gomulka on November 24, 2011, 18:48:18 pm I would choose the Dells. They flow a little bit more than the IDF, and they have the idle jets on top, not on the sides! I don't know what the difference is between the D and the S.
Title: Re: Another 67-built Post by: bilboa2 on November 25, 2011, 17:35:49 pm GREAT BUILD... Dig the color, red interior, wheel choice, fuel inj , headlights AND the choice of leaving side trim. A very classic 67 looker. As mark says it's your car, build it YOUR way.. I think your k7 cam choice is fine, I sometimes miss my engle 110 cam motor vs fk46 in a street car. Your car with all the detail work is awesome. enjoy... bill
Title: Re: Another 67-built Post by: 58vw on November 26, 2011, 06:21:52 am sweet build...keep it going with the pictures ;D

here are some more pictures: I did the gearbox with super diff and new stronger sideplate (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/DSC08211.jpg) (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/DSC08209.jpg) and some pictures of the temporary 1600cc engine: (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/DSC00463.jpg) (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/DSC00461.jpg) (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/DSC00460.jpg) Title: Re: Another 67-built Post by: fredy66 on November 29, 2011, 01:32:15 am looking good
Title: Re: Another 67-built Post by: Wunder Wim on December 18, 2011, 22:09:23 pm So I've decided to go with the Dell's for now.
As it's all in the details, I took tehm apart to clean them and give them a lick of paint. (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/project67241.jpg) (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/project67243.jpg) (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/project67246.jpg) And this how they look with the Ram Flo's (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/project67248.jpg) (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/project67247.jpg) The fuelcell is ready for its braided breather line. (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/project67249.jpg) Thanks for looking. Wim Title: Re: Another 67-built Post by: Diederick/DVK on December 18, 2011, 23:40:11 pm sweet, as long as you secure those fuel lines ;)
Title: Re: Another 67-built Post by: Wout on December 19, 2011, 08:36:15 am Nice and clean engine!!!
gr Wout Title: Re: Another 67-built Post by: der60er on December 21, 2011, 16:14:04 pm really nice engine
pro's for the Ram Flo's ? Title: Re: Another 67-built Post by: Wunder Wim on January 06, 2012, 22:42:08 pm Time for another updated:
while waiting for some gearbox parts, I started on the interior: fitted the sunvisors, doorpulls, glovebox doorpull, carpets and the seatbelts. (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/project67257.jpg) (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/project67256.jpg) (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/project67258.jpg) (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/project67260.jpg) (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/project67261.jpg) For the exterior, I fitted the bumpers. (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/project67255.jpg) And made some hardlines from the brakefluid reservoir to the mastercilinder. (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss101/DevinckeWim/project67264.jpg) Gr Wim Title: Re: Another 67-built Post by: pupjoint on January 07, 2012, 13:52:07 pm great progress...
just a note, you may want to get the proper Blue Brake Fluid hoses to replace those hoses you using now, i never had luck with them Title: Re: Another 67-built Post by: Wunder Wim on January 11, 2012, 09:03:04 am Hi pupjoint
the brake fluid hoses are actually the blue ones, just the outher skin is grey. I think it looks better like this, don't like blue hoses on my ride... Wim Title: Re: Another 67-built Post by: Wunder Wim on February 01, 2012, 21:04:40 pm Did some more work on the 67.
It starts to look like a car again with thez seats re-upholstered and back in.

i still think about using my simpson belts too..... Title: Re: Another 67-built Post by: Wunder Wim on February 05, 2012, 21:25:25 pm Hi Karl
I didn't fix the harnesses to the floor, I attached them to the body near the OG seatbelt points. I'll take some pictures tomorrow to show you how I have fixed them.

Title: Re: Another 67-built Post by: Wunder Wim on February 26, 2012, 09:48:17 am @ Karl and Danol: here are some pictures of the fxing points for the harnesses I've made. They are made from 5mm thich steel plates with a nut welded to them and secured the bolts with an extra locking nut.

The collector sits against the rear apron, some it needs some work. Title: Re: Another 67-built Post by: Peter S on April 25, 2012, 10:40:47 am Great looking 67!
Just a question, I'm in the process of fitting a CSP Torque Bar to my 67. Just realized i need to cut the body inside the mounting point at the shock absorber on both sides to fit the kit. Do you have any pics showing how you made the installation and solved this issue? Title: Re: Another 67-built Post by: Wout on April 25, 2012, 16:34:36 pm I have them to and I had to cut ::). I think there's a way to do it without cutting but I'm not sure.

The previous days, I made some changes to the exhaust so it won't hit against the rear apron. The fit is very good now. I also made some brackets out of alu for the muffler.

Title: Re: Another 67-built Post by: Wunder Wim on January 15, 2013, 17:52:39 pm Got the engine started after some ignition problems.
Obviously, a Compu Fire electronic ignition can't live with a MSD blaster coil. I dind't have any ignition with this combo. So I replaced the Compu Fire with points. I had ignition. The engine run like this but suddenly stopped. The MSD coil had burned the points. So now it's running on a blue coil with points ade it runs just fine. The engine as it is: 1600 dp with lighter flywheel and Dellorto 36's. Might have to change the jetting a bit but the AFR-monitor will tell. http://vimeo.com/57457392 Title: Re: Another 67-built Post by: Wunder Wim on January 15, 2013, 17:55:20 pm Got the engine started after some ignition problems.

8) Keep an eye on the Ramflo filters, sometimes the foam falls to bits into the carbs, messy. They sound great though! Title: Re: Another 67-built Post by: CallookPastel on April 29, 2013, 22:39:04 pm Wow ! Nice job, she's perfect ! Love it ;)
