The Cal-look Lounge

Photos taken Wednesday morning in Phoenix. Hope to have it completed for VW Classic '08.

Looking good!!! :o I wish I could find a painter with time for mine...

Do i spot air scoops behind the rear quarter windows?

That's the same color as my notchback!

Here it one day later. Fast work, Deano! :D

Outlaw Orange a quality choice of colour!  :)

Gotta love a bright Orange looker  :D

very nice. and what wheels will it run? just to have some mental pictures.

What is this "California Look" everyone keeps talking about?   ;)

From what I understand it's something they do in Arizona?  :)

I am guessing a very specific set of DDS rims? And that car is going to be sick when it is done.

Hey Dean I Can Get you The  Aqua & Blue Cal/Trans Stickers for the doors if you want them?   I heard you be Wearing A Cal Trans Orange Jump Suit With an Empi Patch On The Back At the VW Classic 2008   I am just Wondering  If you will be Toteing The Trailer with The Orange Porta Potie LMAO ;D ;D ;D

Well Dean I hope You Have It Done for 2008 Classic Looks Like it Might be a 67 VW Classic Our Old Club DSK is Planning on  Showing three  New Cars all 67's No One has seen Before ;D ;D ;D  Let's Just Say We are Going Back to the Past (3)  New Cars Built to 1975 Old School Cal Look Standards  Everything Original 70's issue  Hope I Got your Interest up NOW LOL

Hmm, nah it wouldn't be possible.

What is not Possible?

Getting my '67 ready for 08 Classic.

--louis

Looks great it seems to have lots of tricks. Will it have side scoops? What is the lay out of the dash? Please keep us informed as you progress.

oh yeah just noticed the dash, 3 small gauge and two large gauge holes!!!

The dash build was covered in the Oct 04 issue of HVWs. Really nice work. All metal finished.

--louis

Yes, Louis, the dash is completely metal finished both inside and out. We finished the backside of the dash, so there will be no signs of welds. Buddy Hale block-sanded the backside smooth, just like the front.

Side scoops are actually flush-mounted NACA ducts, that will be functional.

Color is Cal Trans Orange, which for those of you outside of California, this color is used on all the California Transit trucks, trailers, and yes, even the porta-Johns.

Deano- Orange , come on what were you thinking ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Hey Deano, I think that is the color of my 67 too :)

Ouch, I think my retinas have damage....cool color.  Looks like another spectacular Buddy Hale job.  I get constant complements on my Buddy Hale paint job on my '65, "How did he get it so smoooooooth..."

And when you are sick of driving it around when it's done, you can park it in any construction zone and stand around and eat donuts like the other Cal Trans workers.... ;D....and then maybe do some donuts....

Any updates?

--louis

I just cut the floors for some large Lexan windows, so I can see the road when I drive...

Cool! So, you will be on pothole patrol. Can you head up to the bay area and do some work. Im tired of dodging craters because of my 135s ;D
