Why not have a special drag racing event ONLY for cars with the "broken rear suspension" look ?
I'm sure they know much more about the combination of a big motor, racing slicks and severe camber upon launch, than us "old fuckers".

Pip, please do not take this wrong, but I think taking a car that was originally a Cal-Look with HP and slicks and dump it is wrong, even if it's pink. Even T-Fabs car now, now it's right! Don't get me wrong, the cars you build are way cool, but you build them from the ground up to be the style you want, and that is an art. Now days people are doing so many different things to VW's and that's fine, that's what makes this hobby so unique. I myself like the old school Cal-Look, thats me, but I am open to all types, cause of the thought and imagination and talent that goes into these car's. You and Danny Gabbard are at the top of the builders list as far as I'm concern, regardless of style. Perfectionist. Just my 2 cent rant. Oh.... and I'm a one older, OLD fucker today,  Wink but still a young'en at heart.  Grin Carry on!

Another thing about the cabrio... It's missing the chrome trim that goes on the back around the bottom edge of the top, and if it's an early '67 it would have trim on the bow above the rear window, as well. Not picking it apart, it's a beautiful car and I wish I owned it! I just did a top on a '67 last week, so the details are still fresh in my mind Wink

Yes, you're right... and the vert's got the wrong seats too but please don't tell anybody!   Cool
Not sure about the wheels and the 2110cc with IDA's... Maybe it was an option back in 67.  Grin

                                                              It was an option in 67 if you bought it from Economotors.

I also park at Nick's.
