Additional Info: Model: Zoe Scarlett - Dirk Behlau photographed the 1965 Chevrolet Mako Shark 2 in Switzerland where it got rebuilded by Hans Peter Böhi.
Chevrolet created two of these concept cars- only one of which was fully functional. The non-running show car sported futuristic details, such as square section side pipes and a squared-off steering wheel. This car debuted at the 1965 New York Auto Show. The second running show-car made its debut at the 1965 Paris Motor Show with more conventional steering wheel and exhaust. The car did have a retractable rear spoiler, and a square section bumper that could be extended for added protection. The Mako Shark II was powered by a 427 Mark IV engine, which became available on production Corvette models. The paint scheme was similar to the original Mako Shark, with blue/gray on top fading into silver/white at the rockers. After the show car made the rounds on the show circuit, it was returned to GM where it was dismantled. The running car would be given a reprieve and return to the show car circuit in modified form.

Statements:
“Incredible film, visually and audibly delicious! The voyage of “the crew” makes you feel like your right there on the trip! This is the perfect meld of Tiki and Hotrod at its finest! Well done guys... Well done!”
"A stunning masterpiece!"
“Great show! Well put together and well worth watching! 10/10”
“Settled down on a wet Friday night with a few beers in Belfast to watch the road movie and the sun just rolled in! If you're a Hot Rod, Kustom and/or Tiki fan and especially if you live somewhere in the world that is gray and a long way from California this will take you to another world. Whenever it’s pissing down here I will stick on the movie and live the dream.”
“What an incredibly well shot film! I enjoyed the story and the visuals. I'd love to see more projects with the The Wild Bunch!”
"This is the kind of film you want to watch three times in a row to catch all the cool bits they throw in. So tripple up your popcorn and have fun!"
“Wow, holy crap was this a lot of fun to watch. What a great representation of Southern California!”
“A super cool and entertaining movie with the most beautiful shooting. Guaranteed Behlau color scheme not to mention the beautiful mellow velvety voice of Ms Jessica. If you enjoy Tiki, kustom kulture and hot rods, this is your movie!”
"Cool guys! Beautiful girls! Great soundtrack! Weird cars! ...and drinks drinks drinks!!! Don't forget to have a drink ready while watching this movie! Damn short 78 minutes! GRRREAT!!!"
“Dirk has done it again after the huge success of his first movie, Flake & Flames. This time he captures the inner circle of the Polynesian Pop, traditional hot rodding, & traditional pinup subcultures. It's a must see for fans of any of these (and who isn't?)”

"Squeezed Up | Tales of Polynesian Pop and Kustom Kulture" is the upcoming new documentary film by filmmaker Dirk "The Pixeleye" Behlau the co-director and DoP of internationally acclaimed documentary film Flake & Flames - Kustom Kulture Film released in 2013.
Dirk will spend two weeks in California in october 2018 with a bunch of guys and their Hot Rods where they will meet up with with other gearheads & artists visiting extraordinairy places and having a helluva time. That's the plan... follow their journey, let's see what will happen.
Some additional info by director Dirk Behlau - please read:
Due the fact that I co-directed the classic Kustom Kulture documentary Flake & Flakes (FF) I am aware that some people may expect something like FF Part II. I’m sorry but „Squeezed Up“ is not planned as a sequel, in fact it is something completely different. While FF was a documentary film about the Kustom Kulture scene in the US and Europe this project is more like a road movie of friends visiting cool places and meet other people - having fun and make new experiences. Everything is already set up, we have a tight schedule and lots of plans. I’m curious myself how this will work out.
Some people may thing: Why is Jesper Bram, my danish buddy, I did FF with not on board? Because it’s no FF Part II :) Jesper is a renowned tattoo artist nowadays and focussing on his Lowbrow academy as well. We are still good friends and he is aware of this project… actually he was one of the first people I have spoken about the film. He’s totally cool with it I’m doing this and totally supports the project.
FAQ:
When will the film be out?
First we have to do it, edit it and many more things… so I guess something in late 2019. On DVD and digital. Maybe even with an additional coffee-table book.
Who is involved?
Dirk Behlau is shooting the film on his own. Stefan Immke, Tattoo Artist Andy´s Body Electric Tattoo Studio (you may know from FF), Matze from Germany plus Shane Bagnall from the US and a long list of creative people. Yes there will be Hot Rods involved too :) More info to follow when we have everything together.
As said we have a very tight schedule and therefore we won't be able to do much extra stuff. Of course we would like to visit more places and everything but please don't ask if you can participate i nthe movie, if we can drop by your house, shop, bar etc. :) We would love to do that but it will be impossible.
