Well I am looking at new chassis and am looking for a little direction from those who have either one of these chassis.

I am looking at the Beeline 98" pack rat with the tree bar and race brace options

and the Berrien Chassis Warrior with Double head bar, Tree bars, race brace, pick-up back, solid trans mount, horn support and pedal plate.

The way I have both configured they are basically the same price. It seams like the Berrien chassis will have more stuff with it for the same price as the Beeline.

What do you guys have to say about either chassis or the options that I added?

It was a personal preference for me but I like the Beeline Pack Rat. After owning mine for a couple years I would've ordered it different. I would've made the roof wider & a bit taller & I would've had the X brace installed too. Other than that, I love mine. Mine is also a 106" four seater without any room for the rear seats (it was lacking room any way). I have added the X brace so now this winter I may widen & raise the roof a bit. You can see pics of mine here..... http://s251.photobucket.com/albums/gg31 ... D%20BUGGY/

Good luck with whatever choice you make. That's the only one that really matters. James

it really comes down to how much do you like the lines of the rail...I like the berrien frames but if you are looking at a water cooled set-up then you might want a pack-rat. but ...again look at all the frames you can find and look at the over all lines because in the long run the insed doesnt matter because you can weld what ever you want...this is the gut factor...aka buy what you will want to see in your driveway and then build and fabricate to fit your application...that is my own two wheat pennies
