there is a ready market for bodies for the old VW Chassis

Your up against the dwindling supply problem and you're still on your prototype! Your competiton includes people who bring a rust-free Mexican boneyard body up and put it on a domestic chassis with a valid VIN number.
You might consider also offering a replacement floopan for interested parties that can't source their own. It was done back in the day for mid-engine corvair power, ferinstance. the thread I
really should start would show a one-piece aluminum monocoque tub underslung under the center tunnel by the thickness of a Prius battery.
You could have dwindling base plates on an hydraulic ram [scissor arm].
