[QUOTE="TBItoy, post: 651459, member: 1384"] I'm wondering about some basic dimensions of belly height vs seat placement vs drivetrain (crank centerline) It looks like there is a wide variation in these dimensions in different styles of chassis ( "normal" 2/4 seat front engine layout) Really interested in comparing a WOD style chassis (looks to have a fairly deep belly pan/subframe, cab centered, sit above & behind drivetrain ) vs say a Jimmy smith style chassis (looks to have a shallow subframe, low overall height, cab rearward, sit low behind drivetrain) vs something like a bomber or bent fab chassis that is more cab forward with the drivetrain below and beside the driver, and a small foot box I was thinking about full body rigs, and how much floor chopping, drivetrain raising, compromised link geometry, frame hacking, etc goes into one when you are looking for a flat belly pan and an extra inch of uptravel. I know most all tube buggies have the front axle well in front of the engine, plus the radiator is mounted out of the way. Just wondering how hanging a subframe under a stock frame would compare numbers wise. [/QUOTE]
