Collection: Structural Chassis & Fabrication
Structural Chassis & Fabrication
The foundation of any world-class air-cooled project is the chassis. Whether you are performing a concourse-level floor pan replacement or a complete frame-off restoration, the structural integrity of your Volkswagen is the most critical element of the build.
At Washburn’s Metal, we prioritize "nothing to hide" craftsmanship. This collection features the high-quality structural components, replacement sheet metal, and specialized fabrication hardware we trust in our own workshop. From heavy-duty floor pans to precision frame head components, every part is selected for its proper fitment, material thickness, and long-term durability.
Collection Highlights:
-
Chassis Restoration: Authentic-gauge floor pans, support rails, and bumper brackets.
-
Suspension Components: Spindles, steering dampers, and torsion hardware to keep your ride stable and safe.
-
Fabrication Hardware: Essential tabs, mounts, and structural reinforcements for professional-grade metalwork.
-
Verified Quality: Components sourced from industry leaders like Wolfsburg West and EMPI, alongside shop-inspected OEM cores.
Don't compromise on the bones of your build. Use the structural components that professional restorers and fabricators rely on.
