McNew used call 'em ass gaskets when we'd have our midnight volleyball games at Huntington Beach State Park.

On the contrary, it has everything to do with Cal Look VWs. D.K.K. = volleyball games within our own club and plus a few outtings with D.V.B. (Frenchy's club).

Knowledge & research are your friends. Or, not.

Scored this frame at a local swap meet, recently.

A couple of good purchases yesterday at Dubfreeze.
Firstly a repro Cabrio sill strengthening rail, brand new, off ebay and picked up at the show. Half the price of a new one, so happy with that.
Secondly, a pair of '68-on tombstone rear lights with the reversing light bulbholders - I should be able to run US spec red-topped lenses and stick an amber bulb in the bottom of the light for the indicators when I do the '68. It's going late model again! Wink
Finally, I managed to find a radio blanking plate with the '68/'69-only chrome trim in place, which has saved me having to find a period correct radio for the dash of the cabrio! It was less than I paid for a plain no-trim one for the last car I did, and it's in really good condition, so I'm really pleased.
Theere were some cool parts for sale, but not as much as in previous years. The German guys in the smaller hall had their usual collection of rare bits (split dash pods, door handles etc) and three deep 6 heart Fuchs, and Kinky Mick had Remotec wheels in 4 bolt and Porsche pattern, Cosmics in 4x130 and 5x130, Joe G had a set of Deano wheels and a pair of Italian IDAs, but other than that there was not a huge amount of interest, maybe because there wasn't a huge amount I needed! Huh Smiley

   Mark that frame is stupendous my friend!!!  good find.  I agree also that the mentioning of the club volleyball games and goings on had to do with Cal look, the roots actually.... Really the kind of thing we need more of these days probably. Please feel free to lay down a few more lines of the goings on "Way back in the 70's"  As it were.

Sadly, it was just the filter adapter. I'm still looking for the correct pump. I've heard that I can make the pump I have (flat, 3 bolt) work with the late, dished 4 bolt cam, but I'm not sure about that. I also am toying around the idea of finding a "normal" 3 bolt EMPI 821 cam... More power, I already have a filter pump that will work, and I have a stash of NOS EMPI cam gears...

Anyone got an EMPI 821?? Wink

Cruised down to Tucson for the Chirco Bugtoberfest today with my buddies and had a good time.  In the swap area I found a set of German dual port cylinder tin and asked the price.  One dollar each was the reply.  Then I was told that there was another set in there so I bought two sets of dual port cylinder tin for $4.  Not too bad...

Went to cover a church auction in the high desert area of Lake County on Saturday.  I've covered it the last four years or so, and it's actually where I bought my current daily driver, a '99 Ford Contour four-door, the car that officially removed me from air-cooled VWs as primary transport...Grin  Anyhoo, I knew they had a sandrail up for bid in the auction, as well as some dune buggy parts.  Ever optimistic, I figured I'd see what was up for grabs.

Bottom line, as the pic indicates, lots of stuff, some not so hot, but quite a few items I can likely resale and make my money back and then some, I hope.  Even some usable stuff, too.  What appears to be a 69mm crank, eight-dowell and I believe counterweighted, a chrome Baja QP exhaust (my buddy needs it for his Baja), a set of 92mm pistons and cylinders, a brand new set of rings to go with them, and a few other neato things.

A lot of it is buggy or baja related, so I'm probably going to try and pass much of it down the line to off-road guys.

That crank doesn't look counterweighted to me, Ryan Wink

A few weekends ago at the Vegas Bug-O-Rama I spotted some old Weber carbs in the swap section. 36DCF's they were... My first thought (and hope!) was that they were Ferrari carbs, so I broke out my mobile and googled "Weber 36DCF". Sure enough, Ferrari, Ferrari, Ferrari came up. Without even taking a close look I asked the gentleman how much, he said $50 for the box. That's a gamble I'm willing to take Wink Got them home and searched through the box, found 2 sets of 37mm IDA venturies which I quickly sold for $40, and a few other misc Weber IDF items that I gave to Slinger. Put the rest on eBay last Saturday, and they seem to be doing quite well Smiley

Yeah, you're right... I got too excited with scoring a crap load of VW parts. Lol Grin  It IS eight-dowelled, though, and at the very least, appears to be a crank that'll clean up halfway decent for a back-up engine.
