DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Here's a link. Ron La Dow is a frequent poster on the 356 Registry and his performance parts are made to be installed with minimum change to the original configuration. I have no personal connection or experience with his products. I corresponded with him once about adapting his primer reservoir to ...

Hi guys Sorry I didn't see this sooner. I put a 9" strip of LED red lights from Harbor Freight ($6.99 on sale) at the inside top edge of the engine grille with two or three wire wraps and ran the wire to the rear left tail light wiring loom. It was easy to run the wire along the hood hinge and ...

So... if I'm understanding...after a considerable amount of mental mastication (and delay), once you decided "Oh, buck it!" real progress has been made!!!

Barry, Steve--next project can be an order and have delivered one.
A race between this and the Okrasa Special??

Steve Re the sentiment expressed in your post of 08 Aug--it IS supposed to be fun, although at times, perhaps scary and even frustrating. As an example meant to be encouraging, photo #1 is 1999 and represents a very nice body on a NHRA approved frame. No engine, suspension, wiring, or shiny bits. Un...

Neil Here's a link to Shane B's Outlaw build chronicled a year or so ago both here and on the 356 Registry site (see 6/30/10 and 9/22/10). In California in the 1960's the "surfer's" cross and other former WWII German military insignias were popular with the anti-establishment set. Bikers w...

Steve, Barry Vraiment, c'est une miracle! Just win this auction and use 200 mph duct tape (or airplane rivets) and Voila! http://www.auctionzip.com/aflive.html?method=getLotInfo&lotref=834CF8D93A&seq=5 (credit to Adam Wright for finding it) Missing the continuing saga of one of my favorite t...

Trevor's Hammerwerks is a regular advertiser in the 356 Registry magazine and praised on the build threads on the website. I have had no dealings with them, but if you want a comparison. . .

http://www.vintagespeed.co.uk/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=34&Itemid=&vmcchk=1&Itemid=119 gotta have this :bounce: FYI I installed one of these a year ago and it is WONDERFUL!!! It seemed a bit pricey but the shifts are very tight and precise. Hig...

My two cents (just because I'm allowed): 1) Number 9 (if it is to have a number) because it is the ninth "special" Mr. Small built per Steve's first post. 2) Warning: controversial--The afficionados on the 356 Registry refer to themselves as the current "custodian" of their vehic...

Re: Dubfreeze photo and grown up comments about the cold

And the teenager in the middle of the photo in front of the green garage door in short sleeves. . . . ?

Great looking car Andy. Per Roy's advice, here's a link to review color options. I listed the main page because there's so much useful information. About a quarter of the way down, click on the red button next to "Color Charts!" It not only has the colors but also which interior upholstery...

Hello Steve and Barry Wonderful progress, awe inspiring. My late .02 about tyres. Vredestien Sprint Classics are a Dutch tire well thought of by the 356 Registry (see permanent sticky at the 356 website.) I have just put them on my 356 rep and I must say are classic in style and perform very well. I...

Hello? Steve???? Barry????
It's been over a month. . .
Did an alien spaceship abduct the Special?
Or . . . needing repairs for the spaceship, did the aliens abduct Barry?
