If you look around you'll find a lot of videos on how to shorten a VW pan to accept a 356 speedster or Manx-type buggy body that result in a hacked together pan, but this video shows how Washburn's Metal creates a shortened pan that looks like it came from the VW factory--inotherwords: perfect. This method is the gold standard for How To Shorten A VW Pan.

That shop is a total dream! Amazing work!

Beautiful job, I can imagine how expensive it is. But if you want good quality, you’ll need to pay for it.

Just a thought but with all the work and fabrication put into shortening the transmission tunnel what would the time difference be in making a new transmission tunnel from scratch?

@EGeisertPhoto. 8 месяцев назад

While the work may roughly be the same, both the fabrication time and extra materials (to make a tunnel) would be cost prohibitive. VW tunnels are quite stout, so better to use what's there.

Is the Manx and 356 shortened by the same length?

@vayabroder729 10 месяцев назад

No; buggy is shorter.

Well, I guess the question that most people might have is, say I deliver a chassis and shortened pans to Washburn's for a buggy chassis, what could one expect to pay? The last thing I want is a hack job. I'm planning on getting a brand new Meyers Manx Remastered kit and I think that a quality job on the chassis is extremely important. I basically want a "new" vehicle when it's done. Thanks for the video, very informative.

Well I hope what I showed is that Washburn doesn't do "hack jobs." As for pricing, it's a lot like how you'd order a new car--what options do you want? I believe he has a worksheet that you fill out indicating what options you'd like (IRS or swingaxle, fuel injected or not, powdercoated or raw, etc.), and he can get pretty close to a firm price. He'd have to see what you're starting with, of course (in case it's bent or twisted, etc.) but if perfection is what you want, he can do it.

@@EGeisertPhoto. Thanks for the reply. Yes, you showed that Washburn does top-notch work! I am a strong proponent of letting professionals practice their craft and I am far from a professional in this area. As much as I enjoy being elbow-deep in a project, I believe the better approach is seen here in your video. I can assemble all day and that will be enough to satisfy my needs. I will get in touch with Washburn for a quote. Thanks again!

I need one of these, I just bought a beach buggy, the front half is 61 VW and the back half is 64 Corvair, ,, very unsafe hack job

Hope you show us the hole build process

@EGeisertPhoto. Год назад

That'd be one long video! :o) But the hardest work (the pan conversion) is done and, as they say: finishing it is the easy part, all I need is time and money.
