The 80″ wheelbase Roadster-T chassis & fiberglass floor was designed to complement our own Roadster-T body. The roadster T chassis is designed to use VW type 1 running gear, 1958 thru 1978. Pre-1966 front ends will require shock mount modification. It’s stronger than a stock pan, plus saves time, and allows tunnel access from underneath that you don’t get with a stock chassis. The fiberglass floor features a ribbed design for added strength. The shiny, black, gel-coat finish won’t rust and doesn’t need to be painted. The tunnel on the Roadster-T chassis floor has been modified to relocate the shifter further back to compensate for the repositioning of the driver’s seat further back on the pan, then in the VW Beetle. The chassis is made of square tubing, with a 2″ mainframe & 1-1/2″ infrastructure, adding an extra 1-1/2″ of lift to the body for increased tire clearance. It features body mounting holes that are pre-drilled, sealed, and recessed so that the bolts do not protrude below the chassis. Please specify when ordering whether you will be using stock VW pedals & master cylinder or a hydraulic pedal package.
The Roadster T chassis comes standard with:
