1961 sunroof, restored 7 years ago and then taken apart to make a cal looker.  Gotta get a driveline together.

That looks great...!

Sweet!!

Gulf blue with grey ragtop.

Nice. It does look like the 63.

Looks good. What size are the rear tires? 145 fronts?

The kids and I spent the day monkeying with it.

Better Call The Cops Luke Someone Stole your Bumpers LMAO ;D  And left you with some Funny looking Brackets

Great looking car!

But then again, I might be partial... seeing that I have a -62 Ragtop, freshly painted in its original hue Gulf blue!  Great looking color IMHO!   ;)

This is actually a great mental picture for me! Hopefully my car will be able to show an near equally good presentation. I got the same type runningboards (satin blue), clear front indicators, black BRMs (MWS mind you), new ... Will go with my black stayfast canvas top tough, and "euro" blade bumpers with short style bumper guards. Will probably swap this for some "funny looking brackets" (as you say!  ;)) once the 2165cc is propelling the car...  ::)

Damned, got to spend more hours in the garage, gotta get the speed up! Perhaps put these pics up as motivational posters as "what-could-be"!!  :D :D

You've got good taste buddy!  ;)

Cheers,

More blue cal look cars!!!!  My car had the same look a year or two ago, now on alloys, but may go back to the BRM's. I think it looks good. Have fun playin with it. Glenn

Can`t go wrong with Blue

Maybe we should start a blue cal look car thread and see how many cars there are out there?

Here is the other one.

they look nice as well due to the sun , bring them over to the uk and that lush blue becomes dull ! Dull like our lives in the UK :)

More sunny Blue bug pics :)

One more old one

NICE CAR! BP

nice car Ideaman , mine is from 62' ( Gulf blue to ), more details soon .

Any progress reports?

I cleaned it and changed the tank to the black powdercoated one.  It might get a set of centerlines instead of the BRM's.  Scott is building the 1776.
