Finally the chasis it's done.
The primer it's temporary just for the rust.

YAAAAAAHOOOOOOOOO :)
Looking good. That is a very nice job. Work well done. I know you are looking forward to having it all together and back on the street.

I can't wait to see this project on the road, Keep up the good work!

Looking good! :D

One question though, why did you use a single upright section at the very front? It would be a LOT stronger if you used a vertical tube at each front corner, the front suspension would be working from a more rigid frame...

Bravo!:agree:

good observation.

Thath is temporary becose I don't have the stering yet and I need it to know here it's the rigth location.

Congrats for the good work Hugo, I just realized you also posted here. Im into german look too, so we'll see around here.

:agree:

Since this engine is not aircooled where did you put the radiator, can't seem to make out where that would fit.

beautiful chassis
 

To hugovw1976:
I love what you have done with your chassis. Can you get back to me with some info on your modifications? Would you actually consider building another and selling it?

Good day Hugo,

I have asked this question before and i was always shown chassis like this. But i will post that question again. Can a tubular chassis be made so as to fit a vw beetle body over it retaining the original position of the engine. The upper sections of your chassis wouldn't be in the design this chassis would resemble the original chassis but only be tubular.

In the spare tire location.

I don't think so, its to much money and work.

I think it's possible.

I was looking at a 911 targa here in jamaica and i noticed that it didn't have any frame horns like the beetle. The engine and gearbox matting arrangement was similar to the type3. If a rear cage could be built along with the idea i gave you hugo and still allow the beetle body to mate to this new chassis that would be wonderful. The car would have a further weight reduction.
