Hi Folks Here's a bit of history on my build. quite some years ago, I had a 67 bug with a 454, and had a lot of fun. So the past few years, I got the bug to build another one. Last year my wife bought a 73, and I'm just starting on it. Not to long ago, I found a 70 bug not far from my shop, in a...

Hi, I've a few pictures below showing some damage to a chassis I'm working on. I'm new to metal work, so the more obvious detail the better. What I'd like is comments regarding how to repair various bits; ie, tools, methods, panels, etc. I have to do all this work on the cheap, that's not...

After taking the photo's today, it really bothers me to put this up for sale. I absolutely love how this chassis turned out, yet I now have other projects to take care of, so its time to sell. For sale is the bespoke front and rear air ride chassis that I designed and built for my previous...

Hello all, I got my replacement floor pans a week or so ago and have found that the quality isn't up to what I expected. (They are repros but I assumed this just meant the fit might not be perfect and the metal was a lower gauge). All over the pressings they seem to be wavey sections as though...

Saw this today and thought it would make a very good kit car chassis. Or maybe a Mad Max type of open seater with beaten oil drum & rivetted bodywork...sort of thing :crazy: Are there any modern kit car makers doing anything with this type of monocoque these days? I can see the...

Looking for a framehead thats not a shitty repro one, or if its not to much money a complete doner chassis that i can cut one off, dont mind if it needs a bit of repair work. :)

I brought a repro framehead from vw heritage for my project but when it turned up it was awful quality, nothing lines up and the beam doesn't sit straight at all. what are peoples experiences with these? did I just get a duff one or are they all like this? The one I have is a brazilian made one...

Hi I've stripped down my chassis and need to replace both full floor pans, the naps hat and the bottom plate of the framehead. I've found enough info on the floorpans so I'm happy with replacing them, however I'm unsure on removing the nap hat and bottom plate and also what order the 3 jobs...

I've searched here and google/thesamba etc but can't find anything. Hopefully someone will know where I can find a chassis diagram with dimensions for a late bay window bus. I'm trying to determine the factory lengths, widths etc for the chassis rails, top hats, rear torsion tube etc. Can...

Rightyo, i was wondering if anyone might be able to guide me a bit here. I've used the search function but can't find anything definitive. Both floorpans and the Napoleons hat need replacing. What's the best procedure for replacement? I'm a bit concerned that by doing it in the wrong order...
