Abstract: Design of component for automobile consists of three main principles: 1. Optimization 2. Safety 3. Comfort The primary objective of the chassis and frame is to provide a 3-dimensional protected space around the driver that will keep the driver safe. The primary objective of the roll cage is to provide a 3-dimensional protected space around the driver that will keep the driver safe. These objectives were met by roll cage material that has more strength and less in weight giving us an advantage in reduction of weight. The strength of roll cage and chassis is increased by almost eliminating the bends and joints during the welding. The modeling of structure and design of roll cage and chassis is done by the software SOLIDWORKS. To start with the initial design of the frame and chassis , some design guidelines are to be set .They include intended transmission, steering and the most important part is placing and fixing them in the correct placement , mounting of seat , design features and manufacturing methods
