Beam Bugs are manufactured to order, so
one has the advantages of colour and accessory choices. More
importantly
though, the buyer can monitor the progress of the Beam Bug during
manufacture and see that we really do build the vehicle the way
we say we do.
The fibreglass body parts are manufactured by us and we are
very proud of the fact that we make the strongest fibreglass
car parts on the market.
Our products have a superb high gloss, chip resistant, UV stabilised
gelcoat finish, pigmented in the colour of your choice. The entire
assembly process is done by us. This allows us absolute control
over our finished product, resulting in the high quality of Beam
Bugs and even though our vehicles do conform to these requirements,
we continually examine our product for possible areas for improvement. |

We are
often asked why we’ve always
made only short wheel base buggies. The reason is simply that,
in its standard form, the Beetle has the reinforced steel body
to give the chassis rigidity. If the metal body is replaced
with a fibreglass body, the long chassis loses rigidity,
chassis flex
occurs and the result is greatly reduced road holding ability.
Shortening the chassis by 30 to 40cms, corrects the road holding. |
