So does anybody know who owns this volksrod/ rail buggy

Tonyz400

Does anyone know who owns this, if he or she is on here, or where I can find a build thread with more photos. This thing (not to be confussed with a VW thing) is awesome! I am a huge supporter of the Volksrod movement and as a designer I have a ton of ideas my self on how to be original but this is a great idea.

That's the first time I have seen it but it's pretty cool.

My thoughts exactly

I had a couple thoughts when I saw this.
One, I'm stealing his idea of keeping the rain tarp on top of the windshield for faster deployment.
Two, that is a really nice mirror in the center of the windshield. What do you suppose he uses it for, picking nose hairs and popping zits? He surely isn't using it to see traffic behind him, unless that keg is made of transparent aluminum. Maybe he has sight tube on the keg and the mirror is his fuel gauge. More likely, it is there to get past DMV, just like my Harbor Freight defroster. Hahahaha

I like the car though. Head turner!

Not to diminish your enthusiasm but it's a warrior frame with a beetle hood pinned to the front. You mean to tell me no one has even played with that idea in their head? lol

I don't doubt it is a non-unique idea. I just like his final execution is all. I think it is neat to try and mesh rail buggy with volksrod. As a designer, it interests me on the modularity of the VW platform. It's hot rod yet off road vehicle.

I agree, that's pretty cute. Would like to see the theme carried on with a few more strategically selected and trimmed bug panels

It's been re pinned over and over to the point where the original is impossible to trace. Most of the ones you click on just bring up a bigger picture instead of a web site with more info Confused

I'm just interested in the picture. What did you search to bring it up?

Ik keek al enige tijd stiekem mee, maar nu ik bijna ga beginnen met mijn projecten, was het hoog tijd om mij te registreren!
Jawel, projecten :eek: !

Naast mijn zeer burgerlijke bestaan (of juist daardoor) heb ik een voorliefde voor afwijkende, niet standaard auto's.
Ik liep al tijden in gedachten om iets met een Kever te doen, maar kon niet beslissen tussen een Volksrod en een Rail.
Daarom nu maar besloten beiden te doen :screwy: !

Wat ben ik van plan?
Omdat originele ideeën bijna niet meer bestaan (alles is al eens gedaan), bestaan mijn projecten ook uit het betere "jatwerk".
Van het internet heb ik een paar plaatjes geplukt die de basis vormen voor mijn projecten.

De Street Rail:

Zonder spikes op de kofferklep en de benzinetank op een andere locatie.
Pendelas chassis met achter IRS. Voor- en achter schijfremmen.
Chassis wordt flink ingekort en het doel is 'm zo licht mogelijk te houden.
Ik ben nog op zoek naar een luchtgekoelde motor van rond de 100 PK.

Voor beiden geldt helaas dat er wel spatborden over de wielen komen.

Ik zal jullie de komende tijd bestoken met vragen en in ruil daarvoor rijkelijk voorzien van foto's.

De komende weken is het vooral nog plannen en onderdelen verzamelen.
Het bouwen begint in september en zal wel enige tijd in beslag nemen.

I looked for some time secretly, but now i almost go start with my projects, it was high time for me to register! Yes, projects :eek: ! In addition to my very civil existence (or because of that) i have a penchant for different, not standard cars. I walked in mind at all times to do something with a Pout, but could not decide between a Volksrod and a Rail.

Swing Axle rear chassis with IRS. Front and rear disc brakes. Chassis is significantly reduced, and the objective is to keep it as light as possible. I am still looking for an air-cooled engine of around 100 BHP.
