Anyone else into VW Rails?

Just in case I manage to screw up post pictures you can go to my host site.

This is a picture of it right after I drug it out of the woods.

These two are recent pictures at the 10th Annual Ms Gulf Coast VW Show in which I took 1st place out of 10 other rails that were there.

Considering what I had to start with I don't think I did too bad. I will be building another rail this winter. Didn't know they could be so much fun, or I would have done some things a little different.

Thanks James L.

I love to have one of them

my dad had a dune buggy when I was real young all I remember about it was I always wanted to ride in it ...I wouldnt mind having a dune buggy or a rail either way it would be a fun toy

Buddy of mine had a Chenoweth (sp?) rail in the late 80's. With the hand brakes and stuff it was a ball to drive but we couldn't keep a transaxle in it. "Q" Buckshots on the back didn't help
It looked a lot like your "finished" photos, thought it might be the same one at first!

Where on the Coast are you? I'm in Gautier. Work in Pascagoula.

Hey Richard. I now live in Kiln(Brett Farve Country), but used to live in Gulfport.

I replaced the Transaxle last year at the end of the summer and hope to get this one to last all summer. This winter I'm gonna build another buggy using a VW bus trans with Reduction boxes. That way I can turn a taller and wider Tractor tire. Yes I did say Tractor tire . Lots of mud where we ride.

Do you have a 4wheeler? We're planing a trip to Red Creek around the end of May if your interested. Lot of mud there too,
