Title: Cal-Look car, needs Cal-Look paint Post by: Eric Justus on November 07, 2008, 17:17:51 pm Hey guys, thought I would finally log into this forum...so I guess I am new to this whole VW scene :) I thought Id post this question here, since it is So Cal based....Who can direct me to a knowledgable painter to squirt the new ride? I need someone with a general knowledge of the VW body, and who isnt ill to the VW scene. Any helpers out there?
Cheers, Eric J Title: Re: Cal-Look car, needs Cal-Look paint Post by: Wünderwolff on November 07, 2008, 17:42:10 pm Hi there Eric, Welcome to the Lounge.
But before you make new "friends" ;D The lounge is worldwide, not So Cal based. If anywhere, the main entrance of the Lounge is in Norway! So Cal is nothing but the back door :P Title: Re: Cal-Look car, needs Cal-Look paint Post by: Zach Gomulka on November 07, 2008, 18:10:14 pm Eric! Haven't seen you in a while! I miss seeing that T34 at the shows/drags. What a bitching car that was. Why dont you just flat black it and squirt the roof white?? ;) :D Seriously though, I've heard good things about Medrano's... no personal experience though. What is the new ride??

It was nice running into you again at Bug-In 32. :-) Richard Title: Re: Cal-Look car, needs Cal-Look paint Post by: Eric Justus on November 08, 2008, 18:04:56 pm Hey Richard! Well hopefully I will see alot more of everyone again...finally getting my ass back into it again and building a new car with my dad...should be quite the pavement pounder when we are done. ;D

They have painted a few cars for a friend of mine and all of them look awesome. They are by far the best bang for the buck. I will try and dig up their phone # for you. Good luck with the new ride. The last time I saw your car was at Carlsbad before going to VW Paradise for the Pre Classic BBQ. That car was bad ass. See ya.

Don't want to give too much away here, but we're hoping to REALLY crane some necks here with the best of both worlds. Hope the $$ can hold up...... Title: Re: Cal-Look car, needs Cal-Look paint Post by: Sarge on November 08, 2008, 19:37:01 pm Welcome Eric! Nothing beats a good father / son project... that being said, would the two of you mind bringing me a beer? ::) ;) ;D

I was thinking about it for my 66, but I think it only suits vintage/older cars.
You already have the older car and it looks like you will get rid of the vintage pretty well with those golden Empi's. Because that was the other reason holding me back, what wheels except absolutely vintage wide five sprintstars fit on Mango Green ??? I think you will have nailed it though, I'm curious to see the result. Title: Re: Cal-Look car, needs Cal-Look paint Post by: Gary Justus on November 11, 2008, 13:39:29 pm The 5-Spokes are just for rolling it around. The "new" rims are on the way.

I should start painting cars. ;D Title: Re: Cal-Look car, needs Cal-Look paint Post by: larry mck on November 14, 2008, 06:23:01 am try Medrano's in L.A. 323 268-1414. They painted three of my cars all turned out great and the price was right. The best part is they said it would be done in a month and it was done on time for the price quoted!! Try and get a painter to do that.

Title: Re: Cal-Look car, needs Cal-Look paint Post by: DKK Ted on November 14, 2008, 07:04:07 am The Medranos are good people, known all of them for over 25 years, they will treat you right for sure. They do excellent work. Maybe some of the guy's here can post pic's of there car painted by them.

Thanks for posting the cool vids and pics on the car. i hope the new owner is enjoying it. sometimes i wish i didnt sell it...but i guess you make dumb decisions when you are only 21 :( I wonder if a line-loc was put on the car? All of my burn outs were done by my monkey feet, no line-loc! :o Does anyone know if the car has ever been sunk into the 11's yet? I only made about 3, 11 second passes in the car. That car has traveled more than me!!! Title: Re: Cal-Look car, needs Cal-Look paint Post by: typ34vienna on November 14, 2008, 17:22:40 pm It seems like Fredy has monkey feet too! ;D No line-loc until now and no 11sec passes yet :-[.
But Fredy is looking forward to the next season! Bitburg was his first dragrace ever. We will see. Title: Re: Cal-Look car, needs Cal-Look paint Post by: Eric Justus on November 14, 2008, 19:33:40 pm Id like to try and make it out there next year and see the car race... :)
Title: Re: Cal-Look car, needs Cal-Look paint Post by: Fredy Kucmocht on November 16, 2008, 12:22:55 pm Hello Eric !!
I´m the new owner from the KG 34. Please can you write me more information about the karmann and please send me pics when you have. luftfahrt-fred@gmx.at Thanks Fred Title: Re: Cal-Look car, needs Cal-Look paint Post by: Gary Justus on December 24, 2008, 01:06:52 am This thread should probably go to the "In The works" page..but...Lot's of things are going on.
Title: Re: Cal-Look car, needs Cal-Look paint Post by: Gary Justus on January 19, 2009, 18:24:21 pm I have no need for the Gold 5-Spokes anymore (we're rolling something else now). The rims are not original EMPI's, but still old. They have the nice rough cast finish and come with BRAND NEW Fisk 215/70-15 rears and 135 fronts, studs, washers and nuts. Somebody in SoCal come and gettum'! $500.
