@Alan Merklin posted:Very easy to adjust a buggy tube chassis to a speedster, a few inches in the center will work. Acme in PA , VW Store in Drums, PA and Barrett in AZ all make nice bare chassis, they all are around $2,000 plus $350 for a bare torsion housing charge. By the time you add in trailing arm, beam, disc brakes, lines hoses etc. a complete chassis ( if you do the work) is just under $5k.
Barrett in AZ was the company I was talking to when I was playing with my Manx, which is why I was familiar with them and their adaptability to a Speedster body.
In the end, I found a really dry pan to cut. (My Manx had been a true Florida Dune Buggy and the pan was Swiss cheese)
