DESCRIPTION
************************************************************************************************
We have been building the drive-train for this chassis for the last few months and we started again by removing all the left over fat, basically all the edges and legs we are no longer using. Then the client asked to move the shifter back 9 inches. Since we have OCD, we figured out away to make it look factory. Then we built a jig to allow us to shorten it the right way.

This is the correct way to shorten the pan. With a frame jig that was made for it by these fabricators. I’ve seen way too many Manx buggy‘s that have been shortened and butchered. The pan ends up with a big twist in it and the welds are hideous. People are spending way too much money on these Manx buggy‘s that are done wrong. This place does them right. Excellent work I must say. I myself am a fabricator and I know good work when I see it

That is awesome work. I wish I would have seen you video a long time ago. I have shortened 2 we chassis , never that good. I built a hunting buggy with all the stuff I had left over. Cleaned out my garage, built a buggy. My latest gets a lot of use out in the woods. It's a combination of super beetle chassis ct 14 inches in the front. Bug front grafted on. Shifter and pedals moved back. Then changed the rear suspention, used Empi spring plates,home brewed adapters. I'm using a 59 bus trans axles.adapters for bvb the reduction gear boxes. I had the front spindles lengthened 3 in. Gain some altitude. I could use a raised front axle...loved your craftmanship. Awesome.

Does anyone know the wheelbase of a lowered bug without drop spindles, I assume it will shorten some especially in the front when the front arms become more horizontal, stock bug wheelbase is 94 1/2 inches Thanks!
