i need the measurments that are not on hendrix's, how much tubing i need and the reason why some move the motor back 8 to 9 inches? i've built rig's but nothing w/this much tubing. were do i start on the tube's , i've got frame shaved an ready. if someone could help hit me back!!!!!!!!!

Once you have Hendrix' chassis, you probably need an extra 2 sticks of tubing, for front seat (seatbelt) bar, back seat (seatbelt bar), dash bar, front and rear ("grille and tailgate") tubes to mount the chassis to the front and rear crossmembers, and a couple of intermediate "kickers" from the bottom side tube down to the side of the frame. You may also want to add internal x-bracing.

Move the motor back 8" to help equalize the weight from front to rear.



If you are trying to copy a Formula Toyota, do whatever you want, it's not an FToy--why do you care what we think goes into it?! Hundreds of people have fabbed their own buggies before--buy some tube and go for it. If you need to know how much tubing you need to copy a chassis, you're probably not ready for that big of a tubebending project!!! :flipoff2:

I'm well capable of building the rig. Just thought this was for info and help, not for some smart ass that can only reply w/ something stupid cause he doesn't know himself!

This forum is for info and help with the Hendrix Formula Toyota chassis. You first post implies that you are building your own chassis. In that case you will find the help that you need over in the General 4x4 section.

If you are actually building a Hendrix chassis then I would suggest that you start by reading through some of the many good build threads in this forum.

Thank's man, just needed a push in right direction,first ftoy and first time on this site thanks again!!!!!!

I do know and I did tell you: an extra two sticks of tubing!!!! :flipoff2:

:laughing:



...besides tubing, you could also talk to ToolBox Guy for his really slick chassis mounts and chassis mount/spring hangers. :smokin:

will check it out,just good clean fun:flipoff2:
