Factory Five Roadster Welding Frames

Prev Next
FFR uses frame jigs to ensure each frame is welded precisely like the last one. The Roadster chassis is similar in design to the original, with 4-inch round tube-frame members that are thicker than the originals, but extra steel is used for triangulation and safety-in the cockpit area, especially. There are more than 900 welds in each frame, taking the welder approximately two hours to complete each frame.
