How to modify a car chassis?
Identifying the correct parts of the chassis structure to cut or modify is critical. Consider using scale models of the vehicle (if plastic models were made), to mockup the changes, or 3D modeling software to do the same.
What is a chassis?
Car Chassis Basics and How-To Design Tips . The chassis (or frame) is a structure which locates and mounts all other parts of the vehicle. It also provides a protected space for the occupant(s). Chassis Types. There are multiple types of chassis but all of them can be classified into one of two approaches:

See our “Designing Your Own Race Car” section A chassis is not about “absorbing” energy, but rather about support.
