arghhhhhhhhhhhh you will kill me with this old stuff
awesome
fabs

I can't remember whose car it was. I do remember that it was sold to someone who lived in my area. I remember chasing the guy down with a razor blade to remove his stickers!  ;)

Hi fred -- do you have those pictures in high resolution? they are the perfect ornament for my garage! :D

Hell that Mopar in that photo would be worth some coin right now

Ya can't buy cool!  ;D ;D ;D

A Dart Swinger??

Fred, Awesome post!  I can't believe you have those pics.  Great shots all.  You mentioned Ronal wheels for the Audi.  Jeez, I was the domestic sales dick for Ronal back in the old R9 days.  I worked for a German fella named Percy Herman.  I loved calling him "Percy".  Funny. Worked there a few years then left before they came out with that awful "Teddy Bear" wheel.  It was a pretty sheeety gig looking back on it.
Anyways, take your pics to Target.  Yes Target.  Its totally free to scan them in their Photo Dept.  Then when done scanning, it costs about $4 bucks for the finished CD.  I did it.  Its amazingly cheap and simple.  Buy a scanner?  Why?  Target baby!

Keep those photos a comin'.  Still can't believe you still have some DKK biz cards.  How did those NOT disappear or disintigrate over the years?

Really cool.
P.S. Heres two more

Heres Bob Davis on the left, and Dean Sellers next to him.  The green car was Bob's.  I think thats Wilkerson (or Hicken) and Ramirez with their backs turned.  I can totally tell its Ramirez for sure with THAT hair.  Man we had some bad hairstyles back then.  Just wish I had hair to style these days.  whoa

The next one is Cory Oldroyd's Ghia.  This car was WHITE.  So much it almost hurt your eyes.  I remember on the 2.0 alloys he painted the non polished part Porsche Sepia brown.  Very different and it looked incredible.  He shaved the front turn signals and we mounted some lights inside the grills on the nose.  They were basically hidden till illuminated. Sweet ride.  I bet no one these days is cutting up their roofs and putting in aftermarket ragtops.... ha

Didn't the bus belong to Henry's brother Paul?

Way cool stuff!!!

Damn I wish I took pictures!

Absolutely... I've takern a lot more pictures since I got a digital.

I remember change the rear window stickers on my car. My favorite was the red "W" logo from Weber or a club sticker.

Fantastic pictures!!!

very nice topic!

if someone needs real pictures/ prints from their black and white negatives i am up for some darkroomwork and make them.

Wow what a great contribution DKK Fred! We get relay spoiled with new unseen stuff here now... beyond cool!  8) 8) 8)
It's like a new page in the Cal-look bible appears every day, THANKS!

i see that mc new gave its the overriders on his bumpers and who own the yellow one with the buggy bars ???

no problem, i will do my best to print what i can. this is one of my favorite things about photography. make a selection and send them to me. it would be great to contribute to all of your memories

Great photos, I like those freeway shots best. :)

I think that was Ernie Barron's car. A '68 or '69? Ernie had a little brother & I think he became a member of DKK. A short little mexican dude named "Pee-Wee"

Was'nt Vince Ito's license plate  LOWBUKS   

I recall it on a 67 (ocean blue?)

Best plate ever

Ya don't want a Savannah Beige one... it's been done!  ;D ;D

Awesome car, one of the coolest rides I've ever seen in these "old photos" along with Lemonade's Sedan.

Keep the DKK takeover continuing  ;) :D

Yep... and Danny has disappeared!  ;)

Ya know... looking at the pics.. I never realized how much McNews car and my car have in common.

excellent thread and lovely old pics 8)

Talking about Sacramento in the past where we had the honor to hang out with TOM PETTY, or was that Dave MCNEW?

You didn't know that Tom Petty was Dave's stage name???  :D :D

superb pictures thanks for sharing

Geat shots and cars, guys.  Fred your orange car looked excellent!

They saved those tickets for me I guess   ;)

Thanks Mark! Any way to get some decent copies of those photos?


You guys' compliments is making me blush! :-* :-* Seeing all of these old photos sure reminds me of what great times we had with an outstanding group of people.

Kevan

Ya know Mark... My scanner is available if you wanna take a trip to Lake Forest

Early line up Circa 1977-78 Hillcrest Park fullerton

What a great thread !
The vintage pictures are awesome.
I hope there is more to come.
 :D

The red late model is a '68 ;)

These pictures are rad!!! Keep 'em comin'!!! ;D

Lisa, Steve.....

Thanks to Fabian for those pics!  Hope you don't mind Fab's.  You have anymore DKK pics Fab's?  This would be the link to put them on.  Can you help?  Please.

uh huh

Wilkersons ghia

what the fu#k ??? iron freesbee  ;D ;D

We took our Frisbee seriously!!  ;D ;D ;D

Actually Steve had a "run in" with a "sore loser."  ;) ;) ;)

fu#¤k  :-\ :-\

Fred, I do not know where/when it was taken.  Fabian (Speedwell) posted it on another link and I pirated it for here.  Fab's you know?  Rick?  I was'nt hangin around the club much in these days, My days were limited mostly to rally's and an occasional meeting or day at the park .  I was driving a 63 vert that did not belong in the car show area.  It was clean just a sano beater so to speak (totally burnt on cleaning my car with a tooth brush.. yah know).  As well,  this was probably taken on a sat or sunday and in those days I was most likely in L.A at some punk show (with Cory Oldroyd or Fong) till the wee hours the night before.  Black Flag?  DK? SD? Adolescents... who knows.

I still go to those damn shows...  But now instead of $5 its $45+...

Blaydes
P.S. wish I could still skate like you do.

This was taken at the SCS showdown.. This was the last one held when SCS was on Orangethorpe near Beach. After that they moved to Katella.

Mark... it looks like you were talking up 2 cuties!  ;)  That would be Barb and Suzy.

In the lawn chairs I recognize Scott and Joey... don't remember the girl.

They used that shot or a similar one of the poster for the next year's show. I have 2 copies of that poster.. one of them framed.

Good taste, I like a lot Black Flag. Maybe you also know Suicidal Tendencies? some punk and skater guys from Venice ;-)

Steve W., is he the same Steve that worked next door to Auto-Craft Machine??

Possibly. He was from the La Habra area. Had the Ghia and later on had a '58 Bug blue with multi-color blue graphics on it.

Guilllaume, do I know Suicidal Tendencies.....?   Well, I guess you could say I have an "idea" who they are.  One night in Fullerton my friends band called Confederate opened for Suicidal Tendencies.  So, Cory Oldroyd (from DKK) and I were at the show and all these wanna be cholos from Venice show up and proceded to kick our North Orange County asses.  The pit was so brutal that when I fell down one time one of the cholo idiots kicked me in the face with his steel toe boot.  I was kinda bummin (and puffy).  So Cory being the big bruiser that he was, runs through the club at full speed and jumps on like 6 of them and proceeds to stake his claim back to the OC.  This basically went on all night.  Then after the show outside Icabods (the clubs name) I see Mike Muir, the lead singer, and I proceed to cuss him out three kinds of sideways.  Without thinking he ran up to me and totally punched me right in the face dropping me cold. 
They won. 
So, yes Guillaume I do know who Suicidal Tendencies are and I must say to this day I am still not a big fan.  Hah.  You like Social Distortion?  Mike Ness and I were quite cozy at one time with each other.  As well all the Adolescents and my good bros Agent Orange (saw them 2 months ago again). Thats that.
P.S. All I wanted was a Pepsi....

I remember a few nights at Ichabods... and the Cuckoo's Nest!  ;)

Do I still skate?   Uh.... no.  I have a long board and I think its only used now to move heavy stuff around the house and the occasional six pac from the local market.  I wish tho.  Too lame these days.  I fall, I hurt, I'm done.
I would definately make time to come hang out at the park wit cha.  Theres a slim chance you might talk me into dropping into a bowl.  Best I look like a hockey goalie before I do tho. ha.
Glad you're diggin on Agent Orange.  I took my son to see them and the Adolescents, and the Dickies at the Galaxy a few months ago.  And you are right they still ROCK.  Better than the 3 chord shuffle like most punk bands these days.  Many moons ago I pretended to be a roadie for Mike Palm and James Levesque  and Scotty Miller.  Ah, I just carried a snare drum  or two in and got in the show for free.....  ::)   The last time I did that they opened for Bad Religion at the Roxy.  That was more than a few years ago.
Aw, from VW's to Devo and the Surf Punks to the Gears, then the Germs and Black Flag, then to better looking girls and Rockabilly.  Played that scene hard for MANY years.  In fact going to see Three Bad Jacks next saturday.  What a trip.  Life is good.
As Kid Spike from the Gears said.... "Don't be afraid to pogo, don't be afraid to relate, if it was'nt for this kind of music you would'nt have come to this place"
Peace

Who's playing at the Galaxy??

I didn't know they were so violent. I don't know Social Distortion, but I will try to hear this band.

I saw Suicidal Tendencies about 10-12 years ago - most violent gig I've ever been to! :o

WHAT???  You dont know Social D>?  Unforgivable!!!     >:( >:( >:(

hey   guys this place is reserved to dkk pictures  ::) ::)............................................. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

David Fong is going to  :)  ;D another DVB and DKK member from the late 70's 80's.

i don't know why this color was named maroon for me it's red  ???

The color in the magazine is a little off.

I owned it, it was red. I remember Jimmy telling me it was actually an old Ford truck red.

Glenn

I remember it being darker than in the magazine... is my memory failing me??

It was pretty much the red color in the pic next to the green sedan. Glenn

old age sux!  ;)

WOW... Damn it looked good that way!

Has to be Bug-In 31

Thanks!!

Well I still have the US fenders and the Cookies... Maybe I'll build it that way.

Hey Mark... I'm 98% sure that's my car but it looks like the pop out frames are polished and I'm pretty sure mine are flat black. I can't tell from the scans... is it running blades & EMPI guards? That's the way it would have been configured.

Stuff like the antenna location and the powder coated trim are farily unique to my car.

The early fenders and cookies were done specifcally for the last Bug-In and that was the only time the car was shown in that configuration unfortunately. The Pop-Outs however were done very early in the car's history with me.

If the Pop Outs are powder coated, they would have to have been done when they rest of the trim was done.

Cookie Cutters suit that car nicely.. Strange how they look good on cars that are lowered both front and rear.

Hey, Rick! To bad you didn't have access to this article back then: http://cal-look.no/lounge/index.php/topic,4377.0.html (http://cal-look.no/lounge/index.php/topic,4377.0.html)
I bet you thought you had a California look! huh?


Just teasing you mate!  :D

Nice Tweaking Fabs! Thanks!

Rick

Hahahahaaahahaa

I think that Joe was voted in in 1982 or 3.

COOL.... 911 cookie cutter wheels. Looks good Rick, and there is you side antenna! Now are you still going to run those 8 spokes? ;D

Man after seeing that... I dunno... I have 5 cookies too... gotta have a matching spare.

I think I know how Fabs feels... so many wheels to choose from.

I think it need a little more tire on the back.

Ahh but they polish so nicely! ;)

It does look like Jimmy's car. Cool and Thanks for the better scan!!

You know, having those pop outs in chrome/polished you achieve the opposite of most early mid lookers, since they have cal look rubber and the door window trim still shiny.
About the wheels, do what you fancy... just don't bring that car up to date. It's way to well preserved for that.

Just my 0.02 USD = 0.0133002 EUR = 0.104345 NOK

 ;)

I'm glad you ran Cookies - makes my decision about running mine so much easier! :D

LOL... no I'm a victim of the 80s ;)

Well the PopOut frames are polished... I have no idea why I chose to do that.

(http://images17.fotki.com/v349/photos/1/101912/4148888/DSCF0411-vi.jpg)

Get em powder coated. Getting ready to have mine done in satin black. Cheap too.

--louis

Ahh dude.... that's 20+ years of dirt build up...  :-[ :-[

the car did have beige running boards when I bought it but they were changed early on.

I should... the rest of the car is done that way.

rick you said that the cookies were the last wheels when you crashed the car , thus you 'were in 5x130 porshe pattern , and on the below pictures you're on 5x205 vw pattern why ???
rgd
fabs

Very observant my friend... different drums.

I swapped out the 5x130 drums for 5x205 drums so I could put beater wheels and tires on the '67 when it was outside.

as you said in the other tread more choice wheels  ;D ;D ;D
rgd
fabs

ah yes but up front I'm limited to 4x130 or 5x130.

a few old pics, notice the org club sticker we put white behind them so you could see them they were printed on clear back grounds and were hard to see so we thought the white would make them stand out, lasted a few months before we went to the new and improved brown ones

Cool Shot Dee!

my 69

gotta love tony bringing a gun to the park, mike tucker and Kato looking on wondering what to do next

joe larson, hes in contact with the current owner and looking to get it back. the cars been in a storage since he sold it.

kato, 1978 in the islands, we spent alot of time in the bolt shop during that vacation.

lemon's luvin the hair

Willie, allways cool. we all wondererd what was up when he sold his 69 vert to me and showed up with a van...he was ahead of his time. i think back on it and wished i had a van...lol

Thanks Dee! I wish there would have been some kind of warning, I damn near spit my coffee on my monitor. My kids are very amused by that pic. Where the hell did the last 30 years go?!?!? ???

Kevan

wow i wish i knew, i also wish i knew where my hair went not to mention my waist line, cant quite into my old  501's anymore. i allmost posted a pic of you in a tux...how the hell are you its been way too long.......

Tux.. that just reminded me of Willie's wedding. Anyone remember Ramirez fainting during the ceremony? How about Willie setting Paula's vail on fire?

-jeffrey

jeff, i have a old pic of my 68 sitting behind moms 70 challenger i will get it scanned but the challenger is the one i wish was still in the family. i think i should post some tux pics, mark, kevan & mooney at my wedding

That would be fun. Please post the pics of your '68. I need the inspiration. I got a line on a '69 that the wife just gave me permission to get. I think I may try to put something together for the '09 gig.

Can anyone say ROAD TRIP! Jersey Represents!

-jeffrey

Maybe we need a longest distance award! ;D ;D

A cold beer would do...

-jeffrey

We can arrange that!

Now THAT sounds like old times! ;D

Hey fellers, I'm happy to say I'm the new owner of a '69 sun roof sedan. Toga white, red interior with 19,000 original miles. A blank canvas.

I still gotta arrange shipping and when I get it home I'll post a few "before" pics.

-jeffrey

Mrs. Ratto, the pictures are from DKK only but anyone is free to post here! On behalf of our club thank you for the enthusiasm and the sharing.

SCOTT!!! How the heck are ya!?!

Has anyone talk to steve or now how to get a hold of him.. scott

I was hoping you might!  ;)

I think that Bill has a line on Yowee!

not that any one cares, but the notch on page one (67notch) wound up in my possesion in 1984, i traded it for a 59 euro ragtop about 6 months later, sold that and swore i'd NEVER own another VW, went to 12 step meetings and everything. Never say never because after being "clean for 6 years", i came acoss a 69 ghia, and my addiction flaired right back up like i didnt miss a day. probably bought and sold 50-60 cars since then, mostly to danny and brent.

dam dealer's messin with are adiction's

nice pictures mark i want more 8)

Cool pics,  just one note... Bob Davis, not Bob Smith.  Whatever.

Cool stuff.  You guys were famous huh.

Hey Mark... one of your pictures when AWOL!

I believe the lower picture was taken at Irvine Park.

...for being chuckleheads!!  ;D

The brown car belonged to a lady member of DKK but I can't for the life of me remember her name. That's her on the far side of the car.

yep same steve, he worked in the machine shop next door.

Hey McNew,
I remember seeing your car in Trends when I was about 11 years old and promptly going out and pulling the chrome covers off the turn signals on my dad's 67 sedan.  He wasnt impressed.   ;D

Cool seing pics with Fuchs.  That was a nice car; any idea of what happened to it?

Hey McNew..... Lookee here what I found.  Oh, and about the full serve in AZ for $175, its only a drink and a movie for full serve round these parts.
Enjoy

Dads are funny that way!  ;D

Mine could never understand why I wanted a VW at all.  >:(

indeed, but i like the look with the 2-litres... really a different car!

I remember talking to Ray when he was up in the tree. I sure miss OCIR.

very nice shot   :o

the people per square foot count of that picture.... I've never been to a show so packed as that pic. Looks like Disneyland on July 4th. Cool shot, thanks Mark.

Talk about short shorts. That one guy almost has a wedgie.  :D

Sweet looking cars though.
