Damn! I'd been wanting to build that same chassis!

Check out http://www.rorty-design.com/content/beetle.htm for information on that setup he's using.

Nice

Hugo,

OMG, you've gone and done it! Now you officially have the hottest VW Bug EVER. I'm not joking here. When this is finished ABSOLUTELY NOTHING will be as amazing. Thanks so much for doing this, you've established the highest of bars to reach!

If I'm not mistaken that IS Bob Frost-Stevenson's design (rorty-design). He's designed my front end as well.

Sincerely,

Jason Ford

Yeah, SOME modification! Those are Audi front control arms? How are you setting up the geometry? I like the idea of cast aluminum arms, less momentum during travel.

Rorty chassis

Hugo,

I am planning on buuilding the Rorty chassis for my Karma GT kit car, which I will have to make some mods to get it to work. Could you e-mail me so I can ask you some questions on the mods you made. My home address is LJOZZ@aol.com.

Thanks
Spider
