Tanuma Body System
Tanuma Unibodies are remanufactured to follow the strict US safety standards. You can read through the standards below that we use as a minimum guideline when we create a Tanuma unibody. We make sure the product we provide is a safe platform for your project vehicle build.
The Tanuma Body is supplied without drivetrain and other non comforming gear, but is retrofitted with the proper engineering to safely tackle a new life on the the American Highway after the do-it-yourself assembly.
Only after the Tanuma engineering process is complete, the kit body is fitted with a standard VIN tag. This means you are able to register, insure and drive your street legal project vehicle after you complete the build with additional compliant components from domestic suppliers.
The FMVSS links below will give you an idea of the intense range of issues we address when we meet or exceed strict safety standards.
