Chasis first or Body first

30.4k Ownedpilot  6.5 years ago

This is a question for all car builders. Do you prefer to build the body of a car first or you prefer build the chasis first.

And I build chasis first. Or to be exact, most of my cars are built on one premade chasis.

    I almost do the exact same thing that Liam down there does. I build the chassis (usually go straight to suspension first), then rollcage if required, and then a full power train. Then I tune it and I’ll usually also include half a body before giving up XD

    My cars sometimes don't have a chassis!
    XD
    But I usually build the chassis first if I make a car with one

    Good question, it depends which do you feel more comfort, the chassis or the body, and also depend with the functions and features of your vehicle, maybe there are some parts you need build or adjust first. Some people start from chassis as their imagination expand from there, and some start from the body. Usually, if we follow the actual manufacture's building process, they will start with the chassis, and then the engine + drivetrain, then attach the body, and the rest.

    I build the chassis and then I don't build a body lol. There's plenty of examples of this in my profile
