Roadster Shop Customer Showcase
 
I wanted to start a thread to give some of our customers recognition for their builds as well as show our appreciation for their support in our company and our product. This thread will be dedicated to cars built on Roadster Shop chassis by individuals and other shops around the country. A complete chassis is a major decision in a vehicle build. It is not only a large financial decision as some may see it. It is a large decision based on safety, craftsmanship, attention to detail, and most importantly the overall performance of the car. We feel honored that so many individuals and professional builders alike have noticed our commitment to building the best, and have chosen to build their car on a Roadster Shop chassis.

Below is a collection of cars that will range from garage built to pro built, from traditional hot rods to pro-touring mucle cars, and everything in between. Some familiar faces, some new ones.


Thanks for looking!

That says it all right there.
Looking forward to seeing the amazing cars!

Thanks for the post Dan. That car was definitely on my list of builds to include in this thread. The car turned out incredible!

What is the color of that 69? I absolutely love it...

Absolutely the best. From design to execution, amazing attention to detail. :thumbsup:

The 59 looks great! Any idea if they chopped the windshield frame or is that stock height? Hard to tell from the pics.

Tim's 67 Nova on a Roadster Shop Fast Track chassis.
Very nice, clean build style. Tim built the car with the help of a local race and resto shop that did the sheet metal work and paint. We were very excited to see the car in person after receiving Tim's pictures. Unfortunately Tim lives in Alaska, so this one probably won't be showing up on the show circuit.

I was wondering when you were going to post up pictures of Rob's Torino, then I read back over the section where you said you would be posting up a collection of cars.

Can you start another one for boats?

Last time we talked and were comparing wheel bases, he referred to his as a "small" ten footer.

Roadster Shop 10-19-2013 01:56 PM

I think there are at least 10 threads already going where Rob's Torino is the topic of conversation. I don't know that another area is necessary!

Yeah, I'm tired of that old Ford. How about more of this though. I would feel weird rambling and heaping on praise, but it is one of my favorite builds in the universe

I couldn't agree more.:D

I hope one day I will finish my build to a level that matches the quality of craftmanship evident in my RS chassis.

The stuff these guys build is really special and I ain't there yet.:waveflag:

And yes that Vette was an amazing build but so was that Blue Biscayne you just finished ....and well ...pretty much everything that has gone out your doors. What about that Starliner you did a chassis for?

Now when are you going to finish this Ford?

:cheers:

Roadster Shop 10-19-2013 03:56 PM

Matt, the Vette tied for my favorite build that we've done so far.

Rob, The Fairlane is underway. We will start a build thread on it shortly.

Thanks for all of the compliments on our builds, but the intent of this thread is to show case what other builders have done using a RS chassis as their foundation.

To keep mixing things up...
Bill Steele's 1931 F'n A
This is a custom 32 style chassis that we built for Billy to get the aggressive look and drivability that he was after.

Great thread by the way!

WOW!

WSSix 10-19-2013 08:11 PM

x2! I'm not a street rod guy but rods like that one are the reason I do check them out still. Plenty of places for inspiration and plenty of opportunity to have your mind changed. That's why I like open car shows. You never know what you'll see that will grab your attention.

Love the name. If I'm reading it right, lol.

Shmoov69 10-19-2013 08:53 PM

Awesome stuff!! PM me your email and I'll send you a couple pics (not good ones, but pics none the less!) of my buddies 51 Chevy truck that you built a chassis for.

Do you have interior pics of this car, more pics, a build thread/site?

Roadster Shop 10-20-2013 02:05 PM

Since this is a pro-touring based site I figured that I would keep the hot rod stuff to a minimum, and only show rods that I think everyone would appreciate.

Here are a few more shots of the car on Street Rodder and Hot Rod's web site.

Heck, I started a thread about a desk! A few street rods are appreciated!
Look forward to our truck chassis coming soon from you guys.

The cantilever setup is an option or our IRS chassis lineup along with the IRS suspension unit - head to the chassis or suspension page and check out the gallery:
