     Structural:

  • Our exclusive custom designed structural tubular chassis – not to be confused with a beefed-up VW sub-frame with bolt-on VW components.

 

  • heavy gauge coated stamped steel floor pan - for additional torsional stability of the chassis and road hazard protection

 

  • We begin construction with all new structural steel not a 30 year old rusted and fatigued VW floor pan.

  • All suspension members, control arms, axle beams, CV axles, front and rear springs, struts, steering connections (including steering column), steering rack, spindles (except rear) are brand new and have never been on a car.

 

    Safety:

  • Occupants surrounded by a reinforced welded structural cage

  • passenger compartment separated from gas tank by steel firewall

  • steel reinforced doors

  • gas tank protected from collision by frame members

  • frame mounted bumpers on collapsible brackets

  • seat belts

  • 4 way hazard lights

  • we don't believe that the battery and its explosive hydrogen gas fumes and potential loose terminal connection arcing should be in the same enclosed compartment as the gas tank, its gas fumes, and potential leaks..... ours is not.  

  • heavy gauge steel floor for chassis strength and road debris hazard protection - fiberglass floors will give you neither strength nor hazard protection
