Title: Ted Trabue's 68 Cal-look supreme Post by: SOB/RFH on January 28, 2008, 20:59:31 pm The car of Ted Trabue, a 68 Cal-looker made a strong impact on me with the super detailed job, the braides lines, slicks on Lillegards and the stance.........A super cool car and distinctive yellow....So what is the story on this milestone car when it comes to Cal-look? Is it still around? Any nasty racing stories from the bouleavards :) Any phots of the car in primer doing the low 12's?

Yup! That's what I'm building at the moment! ;) By the way, does nayone have any info on Don Czapla's bug? I'm trying to decide on a colour for mine and so far I'm looking at Kris Klingaman blue, Chinchilla grey, Porsche Guards Red or maybe a really bright white, but my girlfriend pointed out the Czapla bug in KS's bible and that got me thinking again! :D Title: Re: Ted Trabue's 68 Cal-look supreme Post by: roland on January 29, 2008, 16:24:59 pm Its time for late models and 8 spokes to come back!
