Title: 67 Cal Look Squareback - In Da werks
Post by: Russell on January 10, 2017, 11:24:21 am
OK Guys, so I've been a little quite for a while but currently have an urgent project ongoing....

Always wanted to build a very specific 67 Squareback and in December managed to track one down that was ideal for the project in mind.....

So Richie collected it for me and then lowered it, we then stripped it and sent it to get painted, all within 7 days....

Post by: Rick Meredith on January 12, 2017, 18:47:07 pm
OK, this is how I remember it.
Bill correct me if I'm wrong or add anything I missed.

You saw the pic that Bill posted of it in red. Great looking car.
Unfortunately, some cretin keyed it. Hit pretty much every panel on the car. (Was it over a girl?  ;D )

We stripped the squarebee and prepped it for paint.
Bill had a brother that worked at a paint shop in Garden (Garbage) Grove so we towed it down there to get some color on it.
Bill still hadn't decided what color he wanted so when his brother asked, Bill responded "I don't know. Surprise me."
(I figure Bill's brother was anxious for the chance to prank his little brother.)

Some time later we Bill's brother called and told him it was done. So we rolled over to GG to tow it over to Bill's apt in Orange.
We get there and the car rolls out in PINK!

I turn to Bill and say "It looks like Pepto Bismol!" and it stuck. Forever to be known as Pepto

Side story; Bill and I went to the LA County Fair. We were stopped by one of those carney guessers. She offered to guess what kind of car Bill drove. So we put our money down and she said "Camaro."
"Nope.. I drive a Squareback."
"Double or nothing. I'll guess the color."
"OK"
"Blue"
"No. It's Pink."
Carney looks over to me with a WTF expression.
"Yep. He drives a Pink Squareback."

When it was first painted it still had 8 spokes, we finished it just before Bug In 31. You have to remember these were our only cars back then, we were all in our very early 20's so everything was done on a budget. Great times.

  Sounds about right, I remember it being about a 5 min conversation. Believe it or not it came from the VW color charts "poppy lilac".  It sure worked for the times. I would have never thought it would be replicated almost 35 yrs later.
 Thank you Russell.

Along with aqua I rekn that shade of pink was THE colour for a while.
I had a 20ft long land barge that colour (big old Dodge). When cruising around people would stop and stare, then smile and wave.

We tried to keep it close to original look/spec so we used: 42dcnf's on short manifolds, 009, Engle 130 cam, berg T3 full flow cover etc, got to say thank you to Steve & Greg Tims for such quick work on the heads and manifolds, 5 weeks from start to finish and 10 days of that was lost in shipping & customs here in england

I posted a photo of it some time ago - in Japan on a used car dealer's advert in Let's Play VWs, or one of the other Jap VW mags.

Saw Bill yesterday - he's more than a little bemused by the fact you're building a repro of the car!  ;D

.   Last time I saw it was in front of FAT. It had passed through a few different owners, none of them doing it any good. I have heard a few different versions of what happened to it, but I have no idea of where it is now.  Thanks again Russell for recreating it. I built it when I was 21 yrs old in an apartment garage. If I knew that the was going to be a test on it 30+ yrs later, I would have took some notes. Cannot wait to see it done.

Bemused..... Strange word to use....

But a good question, with 2 answers.....

Answer 1, it's cool and it's pink 😄

Answer 2, more truthful to be honest, so many things really, I've always like the early cal look stuff there was something plain and simple with it all, Bill is what cal look is all about in so many ways, he always acknowledges you, he's put so much into the scene both with DKP 2 and 3, had is car over in UK and demonstrated numerous time his car car can do both the show and go, takes part in the lounge, etc, etc

Bill has also helped me a few times especially getting some BRMS correctly detailed, a number of years ago after reading the book 2, I asked bill about the square and said I really like the idea of doing a replica, he told me he still had and original headlight rim in the pink as well.... He truly let me borrow it, so we could plans a build around this, ensuring we could get the perfect colour match for the paint.

Anyway the right car came up for sale in December and that was that, let's get it done.

Honestly, I am a bit taken back that somebody would want to recreate something I did so long ago.

Wow, I had to look at that REALLY close, but I would say that it is not the same car. Lots of little changes ,dual muffs vs A1, different tail lights, gravel guards, my car had the bezel under the oil fill chromed & the cap painted body color & I don't see that.  Sadly I think the original car is gone.... sure had me for a minute though.

In that advert, I remember reference to 'PEPTO' amidst all the Japanese script. However, I can't see it in this ad. Perhaps there is another ad? Now maybe it was just saying it was 'like PEPTO'! I guess a new owner - or the garage selling it - could have added the little extras to spice it up? Remember all those Jap businessmen with briefcases stuffed with cash at Pomona swapmeet buying absolutely anything and everything back in the late '80s, and 1990s? Buy a car, wheel it onto a trailer and head for the port. Can easily imagine the car looking a little down at heel at Pomona and being snapped up... Would be cool too think it might survive somewhere.

 Good time to say Hello I guess  :)

 Russell first gave me the headlight rim for this car getting on for 2 years ago now on a visit up to his place and asked if I could match the colour, didn't have to look far or for long as after looking through my vw paint chips I found it straight away, L40m Vw Poplilla.

 We've spoke about doing this car several times since but late last year one of my US friends posted a throwback Thursday pic of it on Instagram and I replied saying I had the headlight rim, told Russel about the post that night and it obviously sparked something off because within a month a squareback turned up at my shop and we got started just a few days before Christmas.
 
 I have to say, there's something exciting about doing this car and I'm humbled to be part of it all. I'm mainly known for full stock restorations etc but when I put the first coat of paint on the inside the other day I just stood back and smiled, think there was even a 'fuck yeah' thrown in somewhere too 😂 And knowing Russell, if the original cars whereabouts was known I know we'd be re doing that car right now but seeing as it's not I think this car will work just fine 😎

That is so cool, I never knew what cars it came on, I just knew it was a VW color.

Saving it for the Ninove debut, I guess, would do the same thing myself. Now I'm really pissed I'm not going....

I've always loved this square when cruising back in the day.
I even talked to Bill at one of the scs shows about trading for my 67, he thought about for a week or so before calling and said he wanted me to throw in some 48's with the deal. At the time I didn't have a set or the funds to do it  :( 
Very very cool that it's been thought about to do this. Thank you Russel for all the recreations of these vw's to keep this hobby so interesting and Bill.. I still think it's a badass ride  ;D
