The Cal-look Lounge

today i was at work and looking  picture of the underdog II and other old vw gasser i had on my cupboard  , and just thinking in what would have they to look like if they had been chopped

so after arriving at home  , i opened the computer and launching the files with the gasser and photoshop and cie and to spend my time modifying some gassers

let's go

 ;)

first are the non reworked pictures and second the reworked

Man! now I am even more confused :-\ ;) :)

I like the Underdog!

Great chop- job Fabs.   ;)

Speedwell,

The SUPER BUG was actually chopped eventually.  Attached is a photo of the chopped version of the car...in real life.

Hi Rick - that was the second car. The one that Fabs showed ended up like this (kinda roof-chopped, but not in a very aesthetically-pleasing way!)

The full story of how this came about was covered in the October 2009 issue of Ultra VW in my Cal Look Archives section. :)

I hope the NED Bug picture IS photoshopped , otherwise I'm gonna have to start all over again darn it .

Keith,

I was just showing #2 car.  I know it was not the same exact vehicle. I will actually have to dig up my ecktachrom slide of a shot I have with Rick Cowles walking around the back end of #2 in the staging lanes at OCIR shortly after #3 was completed.  The version 2 car was a show piece.

Rick M

Hey Fabs, I would love to see my 67 chopped if the urge hits you (while your skills are still hot) ;). I have actually pondered taking the Sawzall to it more than once.

mike PM sent  ;)

Speedwell,

You are very talented with computer mods.  What program are you doing all of this in?
