Hi guys, I need a chassis so I can start welding my shell back together. Can I build a jig/chassis or should I save up and buy a new chassis? http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8433/7698 ... fe3c_c.jpg http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8431/7698 ... a60f_c.jpg As you can see, the front of the chassis collapsed, and so did the toeboard. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated! |

I'd have to save up for a while! Are there any rebuilds you've seen where a custom chassis has been made from box section? Like this: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/show ... p?t=647297 |

personally i'd wait and keep looking on eBay for a (possibly second hand) galvo chassis. They aren't that expensive new if you don't mind a cheap chassis. |

As long as you have a decent or at least straight original chassis to take measurments from and a perfectly flat surface to build it on I'd make one. I've always wanted to. |

where are you Dez? ive a wheels chassis sitting getting in the way - could bring it down to cambridgeshire for Reg day or drop it off anywhere en route from Edinburgh.( once cash settlement has been agreed;)) that link you posted to about building a box chassis ...erm theres quite a lot to a chassis and that flat top one creates as many problems as it solves |

There's several posters here build chassis. EXTREMELY good chassis. If pennies are short, you can buy a cheap shite chassis, and repent at leisure. I'd imagine there's a good few quid's worth of steel in a good solid chassis. |

I'm in Belfast, in Northern Ireland! Realistically, i'm only wanting something straight enough to put my body (or what's left of it) on top so I can start repairing it! |
