Customcam- At AME, we custom build front clips, full frames and rear clips. We currently only have two "bolt-on" frames and those are for the 55-57 Chevy and for the 53-62 Vette. These frames are the only ones that have all the body, bumper, core support and engine and trans mounts allready welded on them. The 55-57 frame is a quick swap, and we changed out the frames on our GT55 project car in about 6 hours. No welding required!
This new Max-G frame is one of our custom frames designed for performance handling. We can do many different styles of chassis and we have a few different front suspensions that we use, and we have a few different rear suspensions that we use. Most of our custom chassis are made right to the customer's specs and help the customer pick out the best fit suspension for their own driving style and intended use for the vehicle whether it be drag racing, cruising, hi-perf driving, etc.
The way that this particular chassis works is that we build it to fit the width of the pinch weld on the rocker panels. So you give us the year of the car that you are building, the desired ride hight that you want, your tire and wheel combo (or we can make suggestions) and some pinch weld dimensions. Because this chassis is made to your specs there are quite a few different cars that it will work for!
While we do use the C5 on different applications, the R&P does sit quite high. Depending on the car, ride height and the motor used, there will be 5" or more of engine setback so the motor/balancer doesn't hit the R&P.
I would definitely suggest having the car body that you are going to use in your hands before starting a project like this, because we will need some measurements from you.
If you are not that experienced with fab work, this might not be the best fit for your project. The last thing we would want is to have you get in over your head and have your pet project die a lingering death. If this is the case, we can do a front or rear clip, go with bolt on parts or just enjoy the car as-is.
Hope this helps!
