The American Underslung's chassis design and huge 40-inch (1,016 mm) wheels gave it a distinctive appearance and it was noticeably lower than other cars from the same era. The chassis was hung below the axles rather than set atop them, with the engine and transmission mass moved closer to the ground lowering the center of gravity and giving ...
Introduced shortly after the 750 for £90, it was made to accommodate wheelbases from 6-foot-11-inch (2.11 m) to 7-foot-3-inch (2.21 m) As the name suggests the shell was primarily designed for track rather than everyday road use and could be mated to an Elva chassis. A number of contemporary racing cars used it.

Two gas-powered headlamps provided light, along with a gas-powered light in the rear. The frame, axles ...
The inspection (SVA equivalent) in Sweden is handled by the car builders' association SFRO who does two inspections: one when the car has reached the rolling chassis stage and the second when the car is finished. Amateur-built cars are currently limited to a power ratio of 15 kW (20.4 PS) per 100 kg (182 hp/ton). Until 2003, the limit was 10 kW ...
Ladder frame pickup truck chassis holds the vehicle's engine, drivetrain, suspension, and wheels The unibody - for the unitized body - is also a form of a frame. A vehicle frame, also historically known as its chassis, is the main supporting structure of a motor vehicle to which all other components are attached, comparable to the skeleton of an organism.
Much later Ben van der Linden undertook to build it up as a complete car. Chassis 2 was built into a car complete with early bodywork, which was later replaced by a production body. The process of building Chassis 3 into a running car was the subject of a series of MotorWeek episodes on PBS television. The completed Rollerskate was then awarded ...
