Hi all, from what I understand, the longs are double thickness? Is it the same all the way through the car, as in the top, bottom, and sides of them? Just trying to understand how these cars are built. Photos would really help. Thanks!

Beetle had a "pan" that got substantially stronger when the body was bolted to it.
If you want to use the "pan" as an off-road vehicle you have to weld/bolt a roll cage assembly to it to give it strength. The pan alone is not really enough IMO. Now, a vehicle with a "frame" can function without any of the body on it. The body is not part of the stressed assembly. |
