…just a note for me to keep this in mind.
Airkewld’s Stainless Steel Fuel Hardline
I’m adding this to my to get list. It looks cool and it’s a good idea.
Airkewld’s Stainless Steel Hardline system is here, and you immediately have faith in your fuel system.
The kit comes pre-bent with stainless steel .375″ tubing that can be cut to length to fit your application. This will do all the fuel lines needed in the engine bay that is not running a stock fuel pump application. You will need a soft line from the back of the tin union to the chassis fuel line outlet.
The kit comes with everything you see in the picture in blue.
Carb Bolts/Washers
Banjos
B nuts
Sleeves
Tee
Gauge adapter
Liquid filled psi gauge
Tin union with nut
2x mandrel bent carb lines
1x center line
1x drop down line
You will need a cutting device of some kind, we recommend a tubing cutter. You will need a 37 degree flaring tool as well. Check our tool section if you don’t already have them.

1961-66 Dash Mounted Ignition Switch
I’ve always liked how the early 60’s Ghias had the ignition switches in the dash. Perhaps I’ll add this to my mod list.
Airkewld is giving away a PRObuilt Drivetrain!!!
…and quite a giveaway it is. They are giving away a spindle to spindle front beam, and complete axel to axel transaxel AND BAD SERIES BRAKES!! Once they hit 25,000 subscribers on their YouTube Channel they are going to give to loot to some lucky random individual. Sadly, they only have 8,500 at the time of this publication, so it might be a while.
All I can say is I hope it’s me. My Ghia has taken quite a slow start. It’s cool and all; life has priorities and often project need to go on the back burner.
My friend Pete, as he calls himself (@airkewld to hit him up), really creates nice stuff. It’s like aircool VW porn. I hear the quality is top notch too. For your viewing pleasure, here is a few of Airkewld’s videos. Enjoy!
Stanced Classic Volkswagen – 1960 Karmann Ghia
I dig it! Well done Pete and the folks at Airkewld.
DESCRIPTION ************************************************************************************************
What’s up AirkewldArmy, it’s your friend Pete with Airkewld with the 3rd video of a new series we are putting together showcasing the stance of Classic Volkswagens and the specifications to achieve something similar.
Because we all have different tastes, this might not be your jam, but rest assured, the PRO’s can help!
Today, we are showcasing a 1960 Karmann Ghia out of Florida that is equipped with Air Ride that allows for adjustments all the way down or all the way up or anywhere in between.
To achieve a similar stance under your pre-69 Ghia, a complete Air Ride Kit with a 4” narrowed beam, drop spindle and disc brake combination is required up front. In the rear, the client chose a Long axle, short spline transaxle, from a 67 Beetle and disc brakes.
Wheels are 17×7 all around with 205-40-17 tires front and rear. Back spacing on these wheels are 5.5”all the way around and are EMPI Repo Fuchs in their Chrome Finish.
The suspension and brake package can be built by the PRO’s in a couple different ways. Individual parts and products as the budget allows, complete Air Ride kits along with a complete disc brake package or the PRO’s can assemble a complete front end, rotor to rotor, complete transaxle, rotor to rotor, ready for you to slap it in.
All these specs can be found in the credits at the end of this film as well as in the description below.
PRODUCTS USED IN THIS FILM ************************************************************************************************

EFI System: CB’s Gen4 Naturally Aspirated Kit
Even thought about stepping up to electronic fuel injection to complicate your VW’s simple carbureted engine? Even though EFI does add several extra components to your system, you can’t deny its benefits.

Wheel Backspacing for Airkewld 4″ Narrowed Beams
Per Pete Skiba, an 7 inch wheel with a backspace of 5.125 to 5.5 inches will work with their Probuild 4″ narrowed beams.
This having been said, the 19 inch Porsche wheels I’m looking at will work with a moderate spacer.
