--louis

The condom's still on the muffler, Louis.... no way ;D

http://picasaweb.google.com/wheels.wheels/DeathRaceCar#

Shubee, that Death Race car is owned by Mid-America Motorworks in Effingham, Ill. And yes, I forgot all about the Holmes/Aronson/Christie/Bill/_____ ragtop. A sure prize of the collection.

You found Jimmy Hoffa alive and well in a pub in Aberdeen?

IP1 ??? Shhh! Even I know where that is... ::)
You just bought Wright Publishing and you are now Deano's new boss; as of tomorrow? ;D :D

No to you all but Thanks for the shopping list Dean.

Clue, its nothing to do with me at all (which is a great pity) however its going to turn heads, Big Time.......... and thats that.......

Im not worthy, Im not worthy...........

Ps, some funny replies  ;D

Russell, i think now is a good time to say this topic is worthless without pics.  ;D and you dont need to say anything then.



BTW, Fabs buying your NOS BRMs isn't a secret anymore  ;)

 ;D

thanks for keeping us busy

I know, I know, I know :
Fabs "Speedwell" is your son !
 ;D

For Fabian,  !

Fabian is the son of Dyno and Bill , everybody know that !  :D :D :D

(http://www.dynodon.net/images/snapshots/EBI_2/dyno_ebi2_093.jpg)

Have you found a nos pair of Mr Vittone`s  race underpants?

underdog II is painted  ::) ::) ::)

Russel has sold his entire VW collection to someone in Japan and is now going to collect those funny looking little french cars?  ;D

--louis

Stutt Bee is really one of the DDS cars under the cracked black paint? ???

My last chance :
You buy the entire Tak K. collection (Tons of NOS parts and cars)......

A last, last think :
Anakin Skywalker is your father.....

Does this have anything to do with a certain chop top that got delivered yesterday to its owners?

lightning bug

ooh ooh i know i know...................oh, no i dont :'(

its always good to see the scene is moving or new/ old things are popping up :)

What ever new/old things that you got popping up I suggest you keep to yourself.

--louis

 ;D ;D ;D

More seriously, seems to be a real information....
Please could you say more, Deano ?

* 2 ::)

Russell is starting to buy the Ed "Big Daddy" Roth creatures. Everybody gets a little older.

this was brought to my attention by one off my many spys associates in Las Vegas.

I think i know what you are talking about. 8)

Someone here in the UK has put together a shit 70s look a like race car. :D

Now who is it and what car is it. ??? ;D

I too guess the Schley brothers were able to buy back the Lightning Bug from Puerto Rico.
When will the answer to this post be divulged ?
 ???

Is the Lightning Bug deal really a secret? Didn't seem so at EBI...

Have to agree with JS here - I do have my suspisions though  ;) :)

It is something(car) that will see" the light"   :o  :o  :o      at the volksworldshow?
Isn't it?
Am I right or am I wrong?

so how long do we need to be in suspense??? :o

Here is a hint to my lead..... RF & MH

 :o

Does RF & MH = TB ? Here now in CA? WOW!

I know where you are going with that one Steve, but no... Nice idea though.

Ron Flemming and Matt Hoffman in partnership!!!!

Bigger heads on the Fleming/Hunsacker race car? :D

I know I know I know; you have a unpublished, yet-to-be-seen picture of Speedwell`s car?  :o

something to do with thunderbird products race car?

::) ::) ::)

Ron Fleming running M&H slicks? ;) ;D

http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=743144

thats pretty cool looking (on the link to the samba).

When are we going to be put out of our misery on what is being kept secret? There arent many things left that would get russell excited, so I reckon it is the lightning bug being lined up for purchase.

Assuming that IP1 and 2 are lost, and the original dynosaur was destroyed, if Russell (or anyone else) could find and own one more lost drag racer, what would you choose? Also, what is everyones favourite racer from those which have been found? I would choose Blue Obsession cause I saw it at the Paintbox on jacks when I went there a few years ago and it was the greatest thing I had ever seen!!!

Si.

NO none of these, however is the Lighting Bug Story true, i know they were trying but didnt relaise a deal had been done, if so this is bigger news.

Anyway its great to see so much interest in my post  ;D

Please also stop PMing me as i cant say nor do i have proof yet.  ;)

I know of one (Russell I know it will be hard but it is only 6 weeks from now ) ... but I suggest you buy your tickets for the Volksworld show and see it there
it will be opposite the CSP boot ... oh Russell it is a great post since I know you have another secret for us lined up no ?

Actually, public records now show that Russell recently purchased the original Deano Dyno-Soars building on Borchard Street, Santa Ana, and is going to have it moved to Scotland (airfreight I believe). One hundred gallons of purple paint to follow.

;D ;D ;D

 ;) ;)

Tink I know now  ::)  8)

Hmmmmm now I have a few more idea's  :-X :)

no you still all wrong........

Have you thought that we may all know something you don't  ;D
Sorry but Im sworn to keep my big gob shut  :-X

Good point well put dude  :D ;) :)

 ok, enough !! cut to the chase...

my brain cells are tweaked. :-X

Instead of guessing. I thought the normal procedure was to ask Wray  ;D

My guess a  356  ???

Anyway

If it's what i seen last Saturday then it's nothing to do with Russell ::)

Although he did tell me not to say anything ::)

Any way the VF boy's are going to be in Dundee next Saturday for a meeting and a few beers if you want to join us Peter drop me a PM and i'll confirm where and when.

Here's a guess.... Russell is to debut the former Kid Dean chopped Type 3 Squareback in all its former glory at the Volksworld Show....

Makes sense now ;)

Its not anything to so with a certain event a Santa pod is it? ;)

;)

Bug Jam?

 :D Nope  ;)

Hej Russell,how long do we have to wait untill the solution?  ::)........
days,weeks,month's?
(I must say it is an exithing topic  ;D )

 ;D

Did you hear that Russel is starting his own VW magazine?

After reviewing the last few posts, why am I getting this feeling that the topic has changed?  ;D
Lets get back to the original secret. I find it hard to believe this is all about Kid Dean. :-\
Deano, your doing a good job at confusing us! I need a BEER!
As a side note: I have a little secret concerning a new car I will be bringing out to this years Classic. :o ::)

I just got it! The Original DKP guy is finally debuting The Berglar again. Thanks Russell for telling me! ;D

it's  the stutt bee ;D ;D ;D ;D , cool for you russell ::)

.........................

 Ive been to dubfreeze today (1st show/Jumble sale of the year for the Uk), and this is all ppl can talk about,Oh and the First Uk Cal-look Drag day Ever!! on the 17th of May ;), I think its racking everyone's heads loll  :D ;D

i know Russell will soon be setting up an engine shop with full facilities!  8)

Will it cost ya extra if you want jets in the carbs? jk...

Is he hiring? what a cool job that be!  Hey Ray.....thinking about it?

On the secret your still all wrong but you will know in around 4 weeks  ;D

Om the engine Shop, yes i am thanks to lids  ;) Lids please show the boys my new toy in a new topic, its just been confirmed.

Nothing yet?

That'll be something for the volksworld show then...  ;)

No it takes 4 weeks for the implants to settle down, then the transformation will be complete. Is that it Russelina?

:D

(http://msp219.photobucket.com/albums/cc233/momndad4ever/us/man-boobs.jpg)

God i sodding hope not....

errrrrrrrrr NO.

MOOBS! :P :P :-X

A Sepia Brown Convert?

where did you hear than one from...... not the answer but not a bad shot in the dark on another little deal......  ;)

This thread is totally ridiculous and I cannot believe I just wasted 10 minutes reading through each page to get to nothing.  Go back to sleep.  What a waste of space.
Boo hoo.
I fart in your general direction.........  and your mother was a hampster.

Thanks for the warning! I'll take cover.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1sS1TmXF38

Chino>Phoenix>Aberdeen????

One out of two isn't bad. ;) :D

Something rarer than a Heb. Anaheim>Irvine>?? You know ;)

;) ;D

Im sure Russell started this thread to have you guys guess and by doing that giving him new tips on future purchases, as he was running out of own ideas of what more to buy...
And.. in 4 weeks(as he wrote) on aprils fools day.. the joke is on us who extended his "to buy" list :-D

NO there  is a point to this and it will be displayed for all to see this month..... No its not mine.

And Lanny please let me see a pic of the new classic toy, taht way i can bring some change if required ?

Hey Russell is TAHT a Scottish word if so what does it mean. :D ;D

I know, I know, I know....

And I'm not saying either...

I know (I think) ;)

 A shot in the dark is it blue ???

I can't take the suspense !!...I'm going to bed ...Goodnite !

Does this have anything to do with Flat 4?

Ich verstehe nicht?

Lanny, Eh ????

tick, tick, tick, not long to go now............

Cool only 18 more sleep's and we'll all know for sure  ;)
looking forward to catching up with you Russell and all the other like minded nutter's  :D

Me too  :)

Classic toy..change..I'm lost? I know..you want your shirt back.. ;)

Its not this is it? ???

Even if im totally, wrong which i prob's am, It still a cool Blog.

I didn't realise there was this much interest in the ingredients for a good Haggis. Crazy stuff, it's either that or just another replica of the green car from just off Beach.

 :)

9 more sleeps to go  ;D

I know I'm getting all excited  ;D

I guess I know Russell. Is it a combination?  ;D

Well done Georg........ you are gifted buit lets wait until next Friday for the remaining loungers to find out... ;)

(http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff84/49-rag/dyn003_original_700_314_pjpeg_22-1.jpg)

I was thinking that too ;)

not the same car, just a similar inspiration.  one has a chop the other doesn't!

Same car as pink atomic though...

I may have missed it or maybe I'm just thick but what was the secret?

Is it just me or do other guys also think this is kinda lacking inspiration.
Was cool as a gimmick but...

I wasn't too awestricken either.  ::)

Don't get me wrong, it is a nice car, but indeed nothing more. I really like Meslet, and all the designs he pencils down are super VW's, but that is exactly the strong point, it is only ink and paper, a real what if to ponder on and think about. It's a great recognition for Meslet's work

And the paint is awesome as is the finish, but it doesn't ring my bell. Sorry  :-X

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/SanchoPancho/General/PA-DP02.jpg)

So......"pink atomic" is transformed in "dyno pincher".Right?
Who is the owner now?Also the same?

Did the headlights change during the weekend?

Looks like it, they where gold on saturday...

Ok Guys this was the big secret, i saw this about a month ago and was blown away by the quality of the paint work by the paintbox, was also rather impressed that GhiaSteph wanted to build from the Super VW Impression of a cross Empi/DDS car, for me this is as worthy as any other gasser style homage and im delighted that people want to build there version of a period gasser, this all helps keep the gasser circus alive, very much like cal look, we all steel from previous ideas.

I thinks its slightly unfair to compare to KS's car as this was built way ahead of its time and was done with the empi theme in mind and if you think this went from a really fast cool car, to a black car, to a black car with green flames............

I would far rather see Pink Atomic change to DynoPincher and am glad it has.

Steph, well done on the VW top 20 award, well derserved.

see my other ramblings on VW post,  ;)

Russell

yes  , saturday they were yellow and sunday white

owner is stephane aka steph ghia 63

Yes Jon (hope you got home safe and that Sunday night went well after we went)
the headlight rims only arrived Friday at the Paintbox and Simon custom made the white ones
they have been fitted Saturday evening when the show closed for public

Gunter

Hey Jelle you have to be inspired to make a real car out of a drawing by an artist (Pascal Meslet)
believe me , to make this car right took inspiration and a lot

Gunter

I have a posterbook from the early nineties of Pascal's renderings, it would be great to see more of his work made into reality. If anyone can, it's going to be the PaintBox!

more of the car here: http://callookvw.skynetblogs.be/tag/1/volksworld%20show

(http://blogsimages.skynet.be/images_v2/002/593/708/20090330/dyn006_original_750_563_jpeg_2593708_da84670335b7441b4140db3524fd687b.jpg)

I like the transformation! Looking much better now  8)

Couldn't make it to Esher this year :-\, so didn't see it with my own eyes, but what I can tell from the pictures, wow, great job, can't wait to see it in person.

Hopefully it runs as good as it looks. Don't get me wrong, I totally agree the DynoPincher winning the tropies, I just dream about the car combining the look with good E.T.s  like it combines the Inspiration of two Legends of Aircooled VW Drag Racing.

Saludos Amigos,

Ole

Anyone have pics of the engine??

yes from the underneath  ;D

 ::)

:)

chris i've just those pictures from the engine the decklid was closed

 ;)

Bummer. I'm sure some will surface sooner than later. Thanks Fabs

Anyone have a pic of the "Empi fuel gauge" ?
 ???

 ;D

Thanks Fred, but I don't see a FUEL gauge ?

What kind of CSP shifter is that?

Fantastic car  :)

I do dig the dash treatment :)

Paint & body looks awesome! Sure like to see the engine!

me too

well i had the same feeling. BUT i think what lacks is striptime  ;D it just will need to make it's own history, get into the battle and have some scars (hopefully none too bad though) and build up a reputation for itself.
and apart from a couple things that need some change the car will do just fine.

Johnny :o
Roth?? its not Fuel Empi :D

Mags

chris here's a pictures of the engine  ;)

So looking back at some old posts, the above list caught my eye, made me think....

Berg's black '67 racecar
Gary's former street car (some assembly required)
IP#1
IP#2
Dave Rhoad's green sedan
Bill Schwimmer's sedan
Sarge's '67
Kris Klingaman's race car
Goin' Bananas
Mike Smith's '67 (2)
BAE turbo sedan (2)
KRE's Blackie! (now that's a sleeper deal....)
Terry Gordon's G/D
Darrell's Vittone's A/MC
Dave Andrew's A/MC
Bear's B/MC
KRE's Hot Sauce Manx
Steve Tims' Mean Machine
Lightning Bug (chop top and dragster)
