Yes, he did!!!!   



I'm going to call him tonight and find out what is going on!!!!

[Lee.C]

Thanks dude - it looks pretty clean to me too 

I think this is my new FAVOURITE LOOKER even if it does have BRM's as I normally "hate" them 

P.S I wonder what it would look like on fuchs - photoshop anyone

He only laughed mildly when I gave him an 8-track from the Village People (found in a trash can)

Could this be considered a Cal-look 8-track ?
I got it from Darrell Vittone himself !
It was a one-off prototype that never went into production.

I thought I would break this up and post a older feature of my new car , which previously was owned by Greg Lane of Der Zoltig Kafers, and originally built by Johnny Salgado in 1992-3, Johnny was then accepted into DKP in 1999. The car has not changed to much, but will be getting a mild makeover in the future, currently no engine, I plan on building a 2276cc w/Ida's hopefully before Bug In in April.  Still rolls on centerlines. But OG BRM's await I would love to hear any old stories or more info on the car, I know Bill was there

And also an interior makeover!!

I have the American Graffitti sound track  Grin Grin Grin

I lived the American Graffitti sound track.  The promo was where were you in '62?  That's when I graduated from high school.  What a great time to be alive...

I know, I have dated myself.  So what!

.... so my question is WHY THE F-U-C-K CAN`T THEY MAKE THE REPRO EXACTLY LIKE THE ORIGINAL ONES!!! .........and it cant be that more expensive to put magnesium instead of aluminium in the mold.

Finding a foundry in the USA that will cast Mg is extremely difficult today.  I think it has to do with safety regulations.  If you did find a foundry, it would be very expensive.

There is a 3rd repro BRM in existance besides Flat 4 and MWS.  Made in Mexico City, I told those guys to make them out of old engine cases, but it didn't happen.

I have looked into this, I found a foundry to cast the wheels, but your right it ain't cheap. When I win the lottery I will start production....

old engine cases is a really goog idea!!(perfect in mexico)
but what about outsourcing it to china, I dont know were flat4 get their wheels done, but I would guess china or maybe japan.

Please win the lottery and start production, I will buy them even if their cost 500 dollars more or whatever the prize will be. As long as I dont have to pay 3500++ dollars....and not only BRM`s but all the other magnesium wheels aswell

God I love that 8 track - but I do need the second cassette

Slingshot,

Any pics off your car recently??
Always loved that car, together with Bonilla's car, one off the reason I bought a 67.
