Were there only two CLUB's There??  Most of the Pictures Are DKP III and German Folks Cars The Same ones you always see at Nicks Anyone else have Pictures Of the Rest of the Classic? car Show, Swap Meet,Vintage cars,Ghia's,Buses,Type III's, Etc: Fellow Lounger's and there Car's I Know Luke, Dannel , Zack Went No Pictures? 

Steve's car is incredible.

that really has been a long time coming.....those bumpers really look good!

very very cool.

Wow, i'm only halfway through yet, but nice job Sarge!!

I see Brinton's paint is as shiny as ever, and whose is the red 67 with chevy pattern wheels?

Diederick, the red 67 is Carlos De Albas car and was owend before by Scott Bakken. The wheels are original magnesium American Racing rims and I guess they have Porsche bolt pattern.
Cheers,

Georg

great pictures,i like the black one too

i bet this one runs on alcohol

Thanks George! I didn't know they were porsche patterns... nice! But they aren't 8" wide right?
I couldn't think of the name i usually use; American Torque Thrust D-spokes, correct?

That is the name. It is the same one's that Dave C. runs, or ran, on his euro spec '67. From my understanding they made them both in magnesium and aluminum. I think they were originally 7 inches wide.

great great pics -i'd like to have one of those shirts -are they available online?!

One of my all time favourite cars  ;D

Not helping my rubber fetish Sarge  :o

I guess it's all a matter of taste but I was not wild about the bumper treatment. If you're gonna run the EMPI Bumper guards, either paint them black of leave the bumper chrome.

One little nit to pick on an otherwise outstanding car.

 :o I still don't see a car in that picture  ::)  ;)

The blue car is Tiger's from A-1. I just love the stance and the rubber treatment.

Now that you mention...you're absolutely right;

Here's one for ya shubee!  ;D

I turned my 10 y.o. loose with my camera. I haven't gone through everything yet but he took well over 100 pics.

follow the stare of the guy with the glasses.

Ditto Uncle Jim.  There were a lot of great cars (including that purple convertible - crazy!), interesting goodies in the swap meet (zenith's and holley's and weber's oh my Sheep!) and lots of great friends. Heard about a lot of new cars in the works and some old ones that are finally getting worked on (YEAH!).  Exciting news.  The Rolling Blackout was incredibly built and detailed and my own personal VW spirit award goes to Lanny, whose transporter took a digger for the second year in a row, this time forcing him to drive that beautiful '67 to the meet, only to have a swivel feet adjuster break on the way.  Russ Welch and I were driving my crew cab and passed by on the freeway, and the only reason we didn't stop was because we could not imagine that it could be Lanny's car on the side of the road!  I felt horrible when I saw him drive it in later and pull the two piece adjuster out of his pocket.  What a week for him!  What a car!  You could look at it for hours.

Other points of interest.  Did anyone see the faux 1970 Blue Empi Bug for sale?  Interesting batch of parts put together, even if it wasn't the real Mahashka.  How about that Matador?  WOW.  You don't see that everyday, and not in that condition.    

What a great time.  Keeps the fires burning for those of us who don't have a lot of time to devote to the hobby........

Fantastic pics. Thanks for sharing.  ;D

One day I will attend the Classic, its on my list of things to do before I die!

Also, where can I get one of these t-shirts??? Does anyone know???

Thanks.

now your Talking Rick isn't that the Car You use to Cruise Whittier Blvd In??  LMAO

The Jade Grenade was between Pat Friel's split and "El Diablo Gris".

If you are Refering to me Bitching you could call it that lets see some differnt pictures the Same old ones are getting Old, New Pictures but of the Same Cars We Have seen them Already....

Ya got to admit that you've haven't seen this one at Nicks

When I go to an event with a camera, I tend to take pictures of cars I like. I think most of us here are the same. Were not there to document the event for a magazine or other publication. Ya I like to share my pictures but I'm the only one I need to please with them.

Like I said before, I turned Anthony, my 10 year old son, loose with the camera on Sunday. He took well over 100 pictures that day, I took maybe 4-5. It was interesting to see what he took pictures of. Most of the cars he took pictures of were not cars I would have paid attention too... but he was out there to make himself happy, not me. The lowrider was a perfect example. To a 10 y.o., that looks pretty cool.

you made my day!!!!! i feel like a ten year old! time for sleepies now.

Nice to finally meet you Luke !   That is a VERY nice car !

Darrell

And I'm still waiting to meet both of you!  ;)

I forgot your number on my counter, Rick.  1:30AM comes early.

I am not Bagging On Anyone I am Just Saying there were a lot more then  DKP  & German Folks Cars In the Show but there are not many other pictures of any other cars  The thread say's VW Classic Photos not DKP photos the cars  Have Not Changed any in the Club

Shubee, I really don't get it! Sarge posted HIS pictures he took at the classic. He obviously took pictures of what he liked. There are a lot more pictures of other cars than of DKP and/or GFK beetles. And even if not - he is a DKP-Member and takes OF COURSE pics of his club. I found it interesting, even so I know most of the DKP beetles. And if I want to see more I am surfing the web for more photos. So were is your problem?

Whats The Point Just Drop it!!!  its not worth the time saying anymore..

So is the one next to it that someone caught me in the act looking at.  Maroon shirt......  We passed by the Diablo several times, but missed seeing you.  What are you doing August 28?  I managed to get some tickets.......

No doubt! I was a little under the weather on Saturday but rebounded on Sunday. I thought I'd run into you someplace... well next time.

Me too !  ;)  Hopefullly we can catch up before then, but if not we need to have a drink (or four) on the 28th!  ;D

I'll be back one day...

Thanks Luke Nice To See A Few OTHER Cars at the Classic  did you buy anything?? LOL

You sure did a great job Sarge!!! It was really nice of you to take the time to share them with all the guy's that couldn't make it to our cruise night or the classic....Your really showing some talent in conveying how the day unfolds! Great stuff!!

Hey Sarge. Thanks for including pics of "The Rollling Blackout". I'm finally getting a chance to settle down after that awesome event. Pulled off "First Place" in my class and "Best Engineered" overall! One of the best days of my life... I must say. Gratefull to have the "Dream Team" helping me reveal my car at the Classic. Still can't beleive it! 8)

Steve, your car will go down in history as one of the most innovative VWs ever built. Congratulations!  :)

Innovative is the word! Breaking the mould!

Thanks Keith. It has been an over 9 year project and I still have several ideas I want to implement into the car.  8)

That is exactly what I wanted to accomplish. I wanted to set the car apart from the mirror image of others (by thinking outside of the box) yet keep it toned down in the traditional cal-look theme. An extreme look, if you will ...taken to the edge of the cliff.  ;D

congratulation for your bug  ;D

Thanks. More pics here--->http://volksarama.smugmug.com/gallery/2996034/1/162407491/Medium
Would like you to make me a die cast in the future,if interested. ;)

WOW!!! Congrats!

Could you tell us a bit more about the engine? Hope it`s ok that I borrow a picture....

Best rgs
BeetleBug

WOW is the word... I'm speachless.. I just started at the pictures for forever right now looking at all det magnificant details.. love it!
Great great car Steve

Sure. It's an 86mmX94mm displacement with vacuum pump and Porsche style cooling. FAST E.F.I. with seperate coils for sequencial firing. Normal aspiration. Details will be in Hot VW's after Dean shoots it; later in the year. Stephan for all other mags.

I will take that compliment. Thanks,bro.

yes I could make it for you just sent me a PM for the details
 ;D

Who's '67 is this? ??? ???

Looks Cool and is a Nitrous Car... ;)

Frank

whaouuu :P

Jim R. is this your car? I asked about it on the CLF and someone said it was yours. Every time I see that pic I think it is the Bergular until I realize it has side trim.

--louis

Yep, that's Jim's pile. Here's a few more, pre DKP and old motor.

i found this one as well:

i moved my car so i wouldnt have to be next to that monstrosity

Hey Frank...That car belongs to a guy named Darren (friend of Greg Brinton's).  Could there be another red 67 in DKP?? ;)

Well there can only be one!!! So I guess Not... ;) ;D ;D

Thanxs Sarge!!!

Frank

I don't know what to say Sarge  :o

When will my stickers arrive?  ;D
