The Cal-look Lounge

As you may have already heard, I just bought the original Zig Zaggin’ Wagen slalom car pinstripped & lettered by the late Shaky Jake... I’m very happy and excited with that as you can imagine! The car will be soon on its way to France!

Of course, I immediately looked for old pictures, stories... Well, you see what I mean... While browsing through my archives, I found a picture (posted on the Internet a while back on the DKP website If I remember correctly) of a period Gasser called “My Way”. Wow, that lettering, colors, and paint scheme is quite the same on the Zig Zaggin’ Wagen... Interesting... While detailing the gasser, I recognized the Shaky Jake signature on the left rear fender.

Did Shakey lettered others old gassers or slalom cars back in the days? I know of course he was very active at the Bug-in with competing in the “Worst of Show” class, but other than that???

Of course, pictures are welcomed!

Thanks for readin ;)

I can give you a face to match the "My Way" car. Tom Walton, former NBVA member and very successful bracket 1 racer.

Shakey would pinstripe whatever you brought to him, or he could drive to with his mobile service.

Jake had something to do with the lettering on Lil Snort..Gary always said it was signed but, I could never find it...cool buy by the way
