Genuine German VW Beetle Chassis Donor Section — 1965 Type 1, Mid-Tunnel / Shift Linkage
Save a vintage chassis with the structural integrity only Original German Steel can provide. This donor section was carefully cut from a genuine 1965 VW Type 1 Beetle pan, specifically preserving the mid-tunnel area.
Instead of struggling with thin, poor-fitting aftermarket reproduction metal, this factory piece ensures a perfect match for gauge thickness and contour. To give you a head start on your restoration, the part has been professionally media blasted to bare metal and finished in a light grey powder coat primer. This protects the steel from flash rust and provides a clean, ready-to-weld surface for your chassis repair.
