The Cal-look Lounge

 :o :o

oh definitely!!
it's my wallpaper on my laptop  8)

spot on it captures the vibe that it's all about, no need for words there.
also, i'm getting so much inspiration for the exterior of my new engine!!  ;D

Check Out Doug Misches hair with the Yellow ghia. I bet he wishes he still had that flowing on the Harley. Those fine young ladies are probably grandmas now ;D

great picture that

yes very nice picture. it just shows that even late model ghias were as cool as early ones. and that long hair and short shorts were in vogue  ;D
i had that picture in a vwtrends issue

does anybody have this picture in a lager resolution?  I have a big screen and these aren't working fine as background  ;D

Dem

I'm still waiting for the day the Green Hearts get groupies  ;D

You need to get hair first, then the women follow ;)

one of my favorite picture with kg cal look  8)

any idea what happend to the sweet ladies?

No Hair. No Girls >:(

yes ok but doug has long hair and he hasn't girls  ::) .... ;D

How rude!  :o


Ah yes, that's because girls have taste and everyone knows Ghia's look faaaaar better with bumpers  ;)

I think it's interesting to note that there were no Ghias in DKP I.  There were a couple of Type II's and Type III's, but no Ghias.  I don't recall anyone even trying to join that drove one. 

Any idea as to why?
Because it was the more luxury car?

My guess is that it was a money thing back then...hard enough to scrape the money up for a sedan.  Personaly, I never cared for them much...that was until Bob Chapman (DRF) built his convertable Ghia with the chopped windshield and IDA motor...changed my view of things completly!

here's a good exemple of dkp 1 car , for me sarge you're the  one beside the bus , is it right ???
we've the underdog with ron & doug gordon , mike mahaffey with is brown split , ?? ,?? , sarge , ??? behind there's  greg aronson , ???,??? ,???

Good one, Fabs!  That's the Hot Rod magazine shot from 1971.  Rick Meisner's bus, then me and the 63, Dave Velton, Zavala, Mike Mahaffey, Doug Gordon, Ron Fleming, Craig Foster, Greg Aronson, Rick Winter...the last two guys, I'm not sure about though.   8)

jim it's the april 70 i receive this one today in the mail  http://cal-look.no/lounge/index.php?topic=1349.msg30282#msg30282 (http://cal-look.no/lounge/index.php?topic=1349.msg30282#msg30282)

rgd
fabs

WOW...picked your "buddy" out pretty quick!  ;) ;D


Sorry man...can't remember dates (or anything else for that matter).  Who sent you the pic?

Sarge........you still look the same.............. 8)

I'd have said Sarge was no spring chicken, but ancient  :o

Easy Fabs, he won't want to help you after many more comments like that  ;D

she was in the hot rod magazine  ;D

That's a "touchy" question to answer.  No one who was a member of DKP I was, to the best of my knowledge, involved with DKP II.  I never knew about DKP II...seemed like we were all anxious to go our seperate ways and forget about VW's.  That's when I got involved with the sandrail thing...until 1998 when Ron Fleming began telling me I needed to come to the VW Classic (mainly to see him judge the bikini contest  8)).  I spent the 1999 Classic alongside of Scott Bakken (he was in Carlos' ride) and got to thinking about the old times on the street...plus there were guys that actually had DKP III stickers in their windows!  The rest is history.  So far, I'm the only old coot with a completed car...Mike Johnston, Mike Mahaffey, Dennis DeMarco and Mike Larsen are all in the works and of course Dean Kirsten keeps threatning to build "something!"  ::) ;D

when dean was a member because on the report in feb 75 dean hasn't his stickers , may be the pictures were took some years before

where are they?? the stickers??that car was cool , he had the right stance 8)

looking at this picture makes me realise how much lower most cal lookers are these days. Is it right or wrong I dont know ???

watch the pictures from the feb 75 and the last one  , the doors had always their deflectors and the second  was took at bug in 14 and one piece windows kit  :o

Dean's going to have to chime in on the sticker deal...   Tires sure make a big difference with today's look.  Those rear tires look like 165 X 15 smokers to me...and what about all that HAIR??  :o ;D

jim the pictures was from frenchy website and it's at the Anaheim Convention
Center in 1975.

Tyre sure do make a difference , getting some 70s over here now for sensible money is a right pain  >:( most settle for 65s now as they are more readily available and the feel a lot better .

I believe Mike Hunsaker still has his 60's vert.

a white with brm's exactly ???.... ::)

jim who're those dkp members with gene & gary berg ???

That's Clyde.

ok lanny  ::)

The guy to the right of Gene is Mike Mahaffey.

 :o

well the closest to groupies is the lavender boy h...

thanks richard  ;)
who know the other  ???

I think the other guy is Rob "Meathead" Reiner from the "All in the Family" TV series !
 ;D

     The picture I took of Dean Kirsten was taken at the Anaheim convention center I also had my VW on display near him. If you look in the back ground you will see Jaky Jake's custom split window which was on the cover of Hot VWs.


   Thanks

The reason my '67 never had DKP stickers on it, was.... the DKP retail swag store was officially closed by the time I finished my car! So there I was, IDAs, Beckers, Brad's, DDS - all the shit, and no more club, no more club house, no nothing! I believe Arnie and Terry were the last two that were officially voted on to become club members, so no more DKP (1), and no stickers for Deano.

It will be quite an honor that sometime next year, when my (new) '67 is completed and running, that I finally will display the original DKP stickers and hood badge that have been waiting soooo long to use.

That girl on the right in the first picture of this thread is seeexxy!!  ;D

go wash your mouth!!!

you don't talk like that about your mom.

Carlos are you on crack!!!!!!    Sarge is about three times that size now :o
J/K Sarge I love you :-*

Was Mike Mahaffey's Split lowered in the front at that time? It looks slightly lower than the '67 with Berms next to it but that can be Split vs '67 fenders..

Well Deano?  :P  ;D  :-*

I'm still waiting for the paint to dry.... Actually, I am working on the body while Buddy Hale is finishing up the pan...

Zach, picture of ghias where taken on pacific coast highway in huntington beach, We tried to find a 3rd girl but all the rest where in bikini's.  ;D

And that would have been bad why?  ;D

it seems that you have at one time DKP stickers on the car  ;)
