The Cal-look Lounge

Is there any info out there on this 67? I don't have any AIRMIGHTY issues to look at... This was taken at VW Bug Show in Spa, Belgium.

Wow, check out the license plate!?!

STRDRGN on the plate?

There's a lot of things I like about this car. One thing about T-bars that always bugged me was that they do not flow with the angle of the fenders. These do.. and I think it looks great. The Wide O's are cool, the QP's tuck perfectly, the stance, color, etc... I'm not a huge fan of the narrow beam though.

It's a belgian car, own by Olivier "Relic", I think he's on the forum  ;)

Here are more pics :

Thank you! aaaaand it has an EMPI padded dash. Excellent.

I changed the topic title.

What's the color?

critter it's a friend of mine what would you like to know?? i've some picture of the car


i think it'a porsche color 

Speedwell.. this car is like a blueprint of what my 67 will be. I would like to see more pics; interior, motor. Is there a build thread on it somewhere? Thank you.

I like that a lot 8)
My 67's going to look something like that.. :)

the car was originally build in france by  jo (the owner of lil snort) , and after was sell in belgium tomy friend oli aka relic

the car have a 1641 if i remember and the interior 've an empi gt deluxe steering wheel , fat biscuit  upholstery, the car had  fuschs  before

i will post some pict tomorrow
 ;)

Are those rear fenders widened?

Great looking bug!! Love the dual quiet pack, it looks perfect!

I know Art Gutierrez from the DKP used to display that plate on the rear of his metallic green 67 so dont know whether this car has any links to Arts car.

Love it, awesome colour. ..

It looks like #415 Sepia Brown.

That's the color of John Stafford's '69 (February '81 HVWs)
Joe Shoeningh (owns Europro in Costa Mesa) had a '69 that was also brown (February '80 HVWs) but it's not Sepia. It's darker.
Marc Tousignant (Kymco Motorsports early-mid '90s) still has the '63 his grandfather bought new. He did it Sepia on polished Empi fives.

To me that's a great later (late '70s, early '80s) Cal Look color. It looks even better without trim on the car.  

Looks more like Porsche Olive Green to me.

It's tough to tell by the lighting and manipulation done to the photos. In the mid-day outdoor shots it looks Sepia but in the garage shots it definitely looks like Olive. The interior shot looks really olive too but that could be a function of light temperature. During the daytime the color temperature is about 5,600 Kelvin (almost blue) but during the golden hour the color temperature drops to 3,500K. That renders everything very yellow, hence early twilight shots look very 'golden'.

Either way those colors look like baby shit and I mean that in an endearing way. I love those colors.

Your´re right it´s hard to tell from the manipulated photos, my guess came from the first one posted by Critter. Maybe someone can enlight us  ;)

Really nice car, the beam is a little to narrow for my taste, but the rest is perfect!

Ok, see, now you're just being pedantic.  :-X

Well if you can't dazzle them with brilliance then just baffle them with bullshit! 

If I REALLY wanted to get pedantic I'd say that an 80C or D filter would bring the color temperature back up.  :P

Weren't you just complaining to me about kerning and leading the other day? Isn't there some font with overlapping serifs that you can pick on?  ;D

It's intended to be Porsche Olive

correct  , it's not sepia brown

and here're somepicture with no effect  ;D

no

 ;)

correction on the steering wheels , is a flat 4 with NOS Dastsun horn push (same as the gt deluxe) empi dashtop

 ;)

here's another stage of that car

Olivier's 67 is one of my favorite Belgian cars (Minus the narrowed beam that doesn't fit well with the awesome Cal look theme of the car). He is also a very good guy  ;)

where to buy a plate like that?  ;D

Thanks for posting up all these awesome pics Fabs!!! That biscuit interior is nice. I would've never chose those interior colors to go with that paint color, but it's unique and does goes well together. I definitely like it better with the T-bars and dual QPs.

That's called a ligature. Even your wife knows that!  ::)

Call a typeface collision whatever you want but I'll call it an accidental glyph. Everyone knows that a ligature is an intentional glyph made for aesthetic reasons. Sheesh!  :P

Used to look awesome! I loathe narrowed front beams :P

Cool Plate.. Last year at the pre-classic cruise night, I meet this guy who was from Australia (nice guy) and mention to me. That he tried duplicate my plate and was denied, because it was improper? ;D

and for those who don't know , oli and i live in the french side of belgium and that side is also named WALLONIE , and as you know we're aficionados of california and their vw , so we(the vw people) renamed our side the WALIFORNIA and the town where we live is called LIEGE , and we renamed that on LOS ANGELIEGE ,...CONCIDENCE ,,.. and phonetically it is almost identical, where from these inscritions on the license plate

Cool.

hahaha who very cool, didn t noticed at first..
Dutch people know Liege, a lot off dutch people go for a weekend holiday in the ''ardennen''.

yeah nice colour but thats about it  :-\ the seats are pretty cool too but nothing "works" together if you get my meaning  :-\

The beam is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY  to narrow, the wheel & tire combo, the steering wheel, the ODD spare, the wierd "STDRAGN" licence plate etc etc etc

Again a lovely colour but thats it  :)

I dig it! Hope to see it at EBI!  ;)

Wow. Nice way to slag off someone's car.

.....From a guy who thought a dune buggy was cool.....

More insight from a internet car builder!

Hey its not "slagin off" it an opinion that I would also say to the owners face  ;) :)

VERY VERY nice colour though  :)

If only they ASKED!

You know what they say about opinions ... don't You?
What would I change? The freedom people exercise with their keyboards!

Good lookin' car ... ENJOY IT, Relic!

TxT

Yea nice car    Just like the OG  StDragn the color is odd enough to be noticed but not look out of sort.  I especially like the interior. I like it when somebody is bold enough to put together a color combo like this and make it work. It shows you probably had a vision of how you wanted it to turn out. 
Very cool car Relic.

Cool car, like the changes between full bumpers and t-bars. The colour is great (I agree with Ben, different enough to notice, but not to look our of place - cool blog by the way Ben).

Shame about the negative posting, but when monkeyboy's car does come out, I am sure there will be mixed reviews/opinions.
