For Reference: Airkewld Chassis Build
I’m posting this here as my aspiration for a rolling chassis.

I’ll be a happy old man if I can get my chassis to look like this. I think I can. It only takes money, right? Here’s a list of installed parts from Airkewld themselves.

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!

I wanted to post the link to this cool FacePage video mostly so I don’t lose it. It’s a walkaround of the pan, seat tracks, suspension and brakes from CoolRydes (Mendeola) and Wilwood.

The Perfect Combo
I was looking back over some of my blog posts and was thinking, these might be the perfect combo.
