Hot, humid air is less dense than cooler, drier air. This can allow a golf ball to fly through the air with greater ease, as there won't be as much resistance on the ball.

Hello,
snowman_slayer here, got my name from building snowmen, then running them over with my sandrail.
But I am new to building a sandrail and will need help, ident. parts.
First how do I know what type trans I have, gear ratio and year of transaxle.

Hello all,
I came across a really good deal for a beetle and had just sold another car for a nice profit so I bought it about 2 years ago. It sat as I sadly took on more hours working and I have just recently started working it thru. It was a bit of a basket case and had an engine fire at some point, but there appears to be no real rust except for a battery tray repair the PO told me about. I only have one day off a week so it's slow go, but I'll get it finished eventually. Here are a few pics since I bought it.
When I got it:
Since I started.

, but as of now it's the size of an ink pen in diameter so I guess I shouldn't complain. I now have one door left to remove and the rear fenders. After the trunK (at the front?) and the glass I'll need to pull the body off.-

Hi bug heads!!!
My name is Ron, and I have a 1967 bug with a 1974, 1600 dual port engine in it. Her name is " Nancy" and I have had her about 6 months now. She is painted a faded pink color and when I saw her for sale outside of a restaurant, I could of sworn I heard her say, " please take me home and fix me up", so my wife was all for it and the next thing you know, she is in my garage. I have a ways to go, but it is really fun!!!! This forum is with out doubt the best I have come across.
This is my 3rd bug, the first one I won in a pool game many years ago, I think it was a 1965 and I found another one that was trashed, but had a rebuilt engine, so I swapped engines and ran the heck out of it. Then I found one a few years later and ran the heck out of that one too. I was out of the bug world for a number of years and am happy to say that I am back. Slowly, I am remembering stuff and this is really fun. What other car can you pull over and tweak the carb, hop in check it out and readjust after a couple of miles, these things are just too cool!!!! I hope to have some pics to download, soon. See ya, Ron (landrocket)

hey guys new to the forum but not to the vw world , i currently own a sand rail that i bought last march and spent a very hard 3 months getting it running in time for the bug out.
it is powered by a 1641 w/duel solex's . here are a few pics of it and the car
here is a pic of the engine when i first bought it to put in my old 73 super that i had
this was what the rail looked like when i bought it ,. it had been sitting for like 8 years befroe i saw it and just had to have it ,
the next one is the same rail after i stripped it down and painted it
and this one is on the way back together
and this running with only a few days to spare before the bugout
and the last one was me at the bugout running low 10's on the 1/8th
