Yo Dan, Since last post I got the lower chassis laser cut and printed the hood mold. My fist attempt and vacuum molding on my new smaller machine didn't go well. Gimme a little more time. :p

Ok, now that I've gone through the entire thread let me just say...I hate you. But only out of pure jealousy. :-) Seriously though, the stuff you're doing is amazing and massive kudos to you! I am very interested in getting one of the chassis and maybe some wheels too but I will patiently wait. Just keep us informed on how it's all going and if I may, i would like to suggest accessories. Things like tire racks, small tools and such, I;m not sure what the cost would be but cool accessories like those would probably do really well. |

Hi everyone, sorry for the delay! I been very ill... :( I am feeling much better. Dan, this is your chassis. I can make the side panels in black, yellow, or brushed stainless steel. The colored ones can be painted. I have made a hood. Many improvements need to be made to be more efficient. But it's pretty good. I made the rear deck. I think it turned out ok. Do you think I should make it fit under the horizontal pipe? It would need to be glued though. Let me know what you think. It's getting very close. I may try to make a floorboard and dash... hmmm... |

Glad you're feeling better. My vote is to keep the rear tray mounted on the top. I don't like the idea of having to glue it it would be a pain if u needed to remove it later. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2 |

Man I wish this would come out already. Danally is building my rig now and we are having a hard time coming up with a chassis for it. We couldn't find a VW bug body for it......(Wish Dogbreath's VW body was still available). If I had the choice I would buy all three versions of this chassis....LOL!!

Terrible time with vacuum forming. Everything is green light but the hood, and I'm so close I need to finish it. Got in the thinner material and spent all day but nothing yet. Hang in there...
