I went last year to Nicks and it was awesome. Of course it was the Classic and not the DKP Santa's Lil'l Helper Cruise. Although, I would go if I was just a little closer. Sounds like a great time and a worthy cause Stephan. Everyone have a safe and fun time. Patrick Title: Re: DKP event next weekend! Post by: Donny B. on December 02, 2008, 05:43:46 am I'm working on getting Rick Mortensen to come with me to the event. We would drive our cars from Phoenix to the event and head home Sunday night. Hopefully we can work out the details and make it!
Title: Re: DKP event next weekend! Post by: Rennsurfer on December 02, 2008, 05:57:55 am Patrick, I remember your car... VERY cool. Sorry that you'll not be able to make this event.

Today, however, not-so-much. Hope it stays dry. I've never had my '67 in the rain yet. D'OH.

Title: Re: DKP event next weekend! Post by: Sarge on December 08, 2008, 05:38:37 am Thanks to all who came to the event and donated some toys for needy kids. Luckily, the Fullerton PD was on had to accept all the donations as well as to apprehend Carlos (seen here as his alter ego, Nacho Libre) who they observed driving off with a load of stolen loot in the back of his '67 :o :o :o :o :o ::) ;D

Thanks Sarge for the opportunity to chauffer you around, your car drives like a Mercedes, but with balls. Wow a 48IDA car I could hear myself think in....amazing. Carlos, thanks for translating for me. I will brush up on "I'd like to order three beers" in Spanish before next month. Thanks to all that came and had a good time and Merry Christmas, Jim Title: Re: DKP event next weekend! Post by: stealth67vw on December 08, 2008, 06:11:15 am What a great day!

A friend of mine organizes something similar each year, but given our climate in November, I'm about the only aircooled car that shows up. I think this year there were close to 200 cars, so all those waterpumpers and one Bug.

Post by: vwcab on December 12, 2008, 01:09:42 am Hi Sarge,i have a question about the DKP-site.Is there an update in the making in the "members cars"?
I ask this,because I saw "2" new club-cars,this week on the lounge. #1:Jim Kurlinski's(metallic bronze)(does he still own his "old" one?) #2:the new member with his '68 late looker(killer car!!!!) grtz,Peter. Title: Re: DKP event next weekend! Post by: Sarge on December 12, 2008, 01:49:03 am It is time for a re-do, Peter. We talk about it but that's about all the further it seems to get for some reason or another ::). Allen Wiess is our site keeper and has been busy screwing his car back together after a recent trip to the paint shop so you could say he has other issues on his mind ;). As for Jim K, he still owns the Java Green 67. Dustin just got in a few weeks back... he'll be on soon.
Title: Re: DKP event next weekend! Post by: Dustin on December 12, 2008, 09:07:43 am Been lurking on da lounge since the cruise, finally registered. I feel like I've been sucked into a vacuum and can't escape! The countless hours of my life that I'll never get back, spent here at the Lounge! Is there a 12 step meeting for this, I may have a problem!
But seriously, My wife and I had a great time on the cruise. It was a little nerve racking being the "new guy" and leading 75+ VW's around Orange County during holiday shopping season with the fear of making a mistake that I'd never live down! I thought it was some kind of cruel initiation joke, but instead it was a honor to get to participate in such a cool event for such a good cause. Thanks for sharing all of the great pictures! My best vantage point was the turn around at the courthouse... What a Hoot!! :) Title: Re: DKP event next weekend! Post by: Fastbrit on December 12, 2008, 10:19:12 am Hey Dustin - welcome aboard!

Is there a 12 step meeting for this, I may have a problem! But seriously, My wife and I had a great time on the cruise. It was a little nerve racking being the "new guy" and leading 75+ VW's around Orange County during holiday shopping season with the fear of making a mistake that I'd never live down! I thought it was some kind of cruel initiation joke, but instead it was a honor to get to participate in such a cool event for such a good cause. Thanks for sharing all of the great pictures! My best vantage point was the turn around at the courthouse... What a Hoot!! :) Come on in Dustin, and pull up a chair. Welcome to the Lounge. Good job on the lead Sunday. Watch out for Sarge. You never know about that guy. Have fun (cool avatar too.... how old?) Jim R Title: Re: DKP event next weekend! Post by: Dustin on December 13, 2008, 07:27:52 am Thanks for the warm welcome!... As for buying the beer, that seems a small price to pay compared to Carlos having to endure that cavity search! Does anyone know if he made bail yet? I'm sure he's innocent, just a isolated case of racial profiling.
Forgot the camera, but here's a couple from my crappy little phone Title: Re: DKP event next weekend! Post by: Dustin on December 13, 2008, 07:46:51 am a few more...
Title: Re: DKP event next weekend! Post by: Jim Ratto on December 13, 2008, 16:53:28 pm Hey Dustin, tell us about your car.What makes it go?
Title: Re: DKP event next weekend! Post by: Rennsurfer on December 13, 2008, 19:42:41 pm Cool pictures, Dustin. Thanks for postin' those.
Let's hear about your beige car. What engine? Any future plans for it? Title: Re: DKP event next weekend! Post by: vwcab on December 13, 2008, 20:01:15 pm Yes Dustin,give us mode info of your killer ride. ;)
Title: Re: DKP event next weekend! Post by: Dustin on December 13, 2008, 20:26:34 pm First off Jim, The avatar is my 2 yr. old grandson sitting next to my '66 nova the day we pulled the 383 out to get it stripped for paint. Thanks for asking! BTW, one of his first words was "bug"!
Well as the locals know, I drive my car EVERY day, rain or shine, so I had to keep it sensible & affordable but wanted to have some fun. Anyone else experience the snowball effect when building toys? It all started by asking Scott P. what he thought about throwing D/P heads and 42's on my 1 year old stock 1600 motor, just to wake it up a little and look cool. I found the carbs with Berg linkage & manifolds for a price I couldn't pass up at Bug-in 33. By Monday we were already talking about a cam, then barrels, you see where this is going. As we were dissassembling the motor we discovered the case was a 40hp case, so we put it back together and I drove it while we put together a whole new motor. Scott donated a donor case so we got busy and got it running the Wednesday before Classic weekend 2008. Having said all that, here's what Scott P. and me put together: VW universal case- prepped by RIMCO 74mm CB crank (we didn't clearance the case) 94mm Mahle Pistons & cylinders CB clearanced rods Engle 120 cam HD lifters, Solid shaft 1:1 rockers, elephant feet, C/M pushrods CB 044 Super Mag CNC Round Port Heads w/40 x 35.5mm S/S valves, CNC Porting Topped with a pair of Berg prepped 42 DCNF's Of course it didn't end there... I didn't want to destroy my rebuilt, stock Rancho trans so I had them upgrade it to the Pro Street IRS with bus 4th gear(.089?) for all the freeway driving I do. Here's what it looks like now: Title: Re: DKP event next weekend! Post by: ian c on December 13, 2008, 20:30:31 pm hey dustin ,
looks cool !! :) Title: Re: DKP event next weekend! Post by: Dustin on December 13, 2008, 21:05:22 pm For those that don't know DKK Fred, he seems to have assumed the role of Cal-look archivist for So. Cal.! I have never seen him without camera and flash, They may be sugically attached! Thank God for..... oh wait, nevermind.
Mark, I need coaching on adding pictures here. Your pics look great for the size! Ian, great signiture! Title: Re: DKP event next weekend! Post by: Jim Ratto on December 13, 2008, 22:36:16 pm you're a grand father? :o ;D
very cool my son played with some Bosch plugs this morning before I put them in the Bug. Pretty funny... Your car souns good, now I know why. Seems like a potent driver.... my kind of VW. see ya, Jim Title: Re: DKP event next weekend! Post by: Sarge on December 14, 2008, 00:51:30 am my son played with some Bosch plugs this morning before I put them in the Bug. Pretty funny... Don't feed us that crap.... it was YOU playing with the plugs.... sheeeeeesh ::) ;D Title: Re: DKP event next weekend! Post by: Rennsurfer on December 14, 2008, 02:35:25 am Sorry... but this deserves a second look:
(http://cal-look.no/lounge/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=7407.0;attach=24064;image) NICELY done, Dustin. Especially the black air cleaner housings. I have mine done the same way. As for pictures, I typically size everything to 600 x 450 pixels (for landscape shots) or 450 x 600 pixels (for portrait shots) @ 72dpi for the Internet. If I'm making a print to frame/hang, then I simply resize the image to fit (example: 6" x 4" photo stock) whichever photo stock size I'm using. Then, I bump up the resolution to 300dpi. That way, the picture won't pixelate or fall apart when it gets bigger. As for me being the site archivist, I'll only take that credit for some of the So Cal events. As for historical content, that would have to be Fabian/Speedwell... who's been here much longer than me. But if I ever scanned my entire VW & Porsche, Hot VWs, and VW Trends collection... I'd be possibly tied for a close second place. ;D But, alas... I don't have the patience that Fabian does. That's why I enjoy documenting the current stuff. Because in 5-20yrs. it'll be probably more fun to enjoy, much like the old pics we enjoy, now. At any rate, that was another fun D.K.P. event and it went well. Cheers to all that made it possible. Title: Re: DKP event next weekend! Post by: lawrence on December 14, 2008, 04:49:57 am Cool pictures everyone. Looks like a fun cruise for a good cause.
Dustin, nice engine. I am a big fan of Satin black, cad plating, natural finish aluminum etc. Title: Re: DKP event next weekend! Post by: brent kooiman on December 14, 2008, 07:02:17 am Danny where the hell are you? We have been doing this volks deal forever. We skateboared,mototcross,etc. and built some of the baddest cars around, but due we talk about us?
Title: Re: DKP event next weekend! Post by: Rennsurfer on December 14, 2008, 07:25:34 am What's up, Brent? Longtime, no see. Where do you skate? Let's hit some skateparks soon.
Title: Re: DKP event next weekend! Post by: SCOTTP on December 14, 2008, 16:07:11 pm Hey Dustin....I bet a set of 48's would really wake that motor up!!! HA HA
Title: Re: DKP event next weekend! Post by: Sarge on December 14, 2008, 17:08:19 pm Hey Dustin....I bet a set of 48's would really wake that motor up!!! HA HA Yeah, what's the big holdup ???? Welcome to The Lounge, Scott...good to see you here; where's our beer?? ;D Title: Re: DKP event next weekend! Post by: Dustin on December 15, 2008, 01:09:27 am Hey Dustin....I bet a set of 48's would really wake that motor up!!! HA HA I've been waiting for that!! A day doesn't go by that I don't hear that from either Scott P. or Bill S.!! Hey... How about a fundraiser cruise to pay for a set of 48's for Dustin's bug? Something like this: Title: Re: DKP event next weekend! Post by: SCOTTP on December 15, 2008, 02:14:12 am Haven't I donated enough time on that motor for you to buy a set?
Title: Re: DKP event next weekend! Post by: Dustin on December 15, 2008, 03:24:22 am Haven't I donated enough time on that motor for you to buy a set? I'm married to a postal worker!!... That could drive her over the edge!! :o Title: Re: DKP event next weekend! Post by: Dustin on December 15, 2008, 03:32:43 am Welcome to The Lounge, Scott...good to see you here; where's our beer?? ;D Hey Scott, How about posting some picks of the Ghia progress in the "In Da Works" section? A little teaser... Title: Re: DKP event next weekend! Post by: DKK Ted on December 16, 2008, 03:20:28 am First, I like to say this was the best Xmas Cruz so far, had a great time. Second, Dustin, I really like your 68', your car is very clean, always like that color. If I had my way, my 69' would be that color. I've met your buddy Scott at Nicks two months back or so, nice guy, talked about your car, YA, IDA's for sure dud!
