Ow wow! You may be right on that!
But that means I've even seen the car in real life, if I find it I'll upload the picture I took of it in Belgium 2 years ago.

It has a great stance to it, but the angle of that photo works soooo well Grin

 You know what 'd be the ultimate late looker for me? A VW blue '68 with gold painted spider mags or old fat lip Riviera's like mine with a pair of XZX and a pair of mickey thompson tyres. There's no such car around... Because those late lookers that are around now, they all look kind of the same... (yes mine too)

This one is from Belgium indeed, from Ghent to be more specific... It has a stock engine again now.
It's from the owner off the "Trash" racecar, Christoph Van Trappen...

Late models are very cool. I always loved this one - it belonged to my good friend Ben Bosworth, who died in 2005. Ben bought it as a solid stocker because he thought it would make a good basis for a baja... Then we all got turned more onto Cal Look and the rest is history! Ben had some stickers made that read simply "Late Model Bugs Are Not A Crime"!



One of my current favourites is Jonny Grigg's Texas Yellow '72, whcih ran 12.1's with a nitroused 1914, and is now going full on race car. Jonny has endeavoured to keep it looking much the same - some changes in the wheel department and a rear wing will be pretty much the only difference from the outside!



Oh, and the chrome Sprintstars are on my daily bug now, and will probably end up on the '70 1500 project.

Looks like it to me... I can't remember the name of the guy who owned the sepia car but that is the one I chased down in Tustin with a razorblade to remove the stickers from.  Wink

Yep... Ernie Barron. His little brother went on to build some nice rides, too. Cool people. Haven't seen them or those cars since the early '80s.

where do you guys find this thing that illustrates VW's as you want to set them up?
I want to see if I can see what my '67 would look like stock height and with a little more tire all around.  Wink
