Beautiful Roadster and love the stance on that Nomad. That Nomad interior is very very tasteful. Nicely done!

Here is a 61 Starliner that we just completed a custom Fast Track chassis for. We were able to build a driect replacement chassis that greatly lowered the ride height, can handle the John Kaase Boss 429 motor, accomodated a 12" wide rear wheel, and utilized all of the stock mounting locations with no modifications.

We have been uploading all of our custom chassis to a new section on our web site dedicated to the unique, custom, and 1-off chassis builds that we have done over the years. http://www.roadstershop.com/custom-chassis

Another busy week coming to an end. We have 2 new arrivals in the turn key build side. Both are very unique vehicles and should be great builds.

First is a 63 Fairlane. The plan for the exterior is 100% bone stock. We are having 1-off wheels CNC'ed to look like the original low option hub caps only in 18" diameter. This car is going to be the ultimate sleeper with a Jon Kaase Boss 429 engine with 8 stack EFI and Roadster Shop Fast Track IFS/IRS chassis.

Just getting started on the disassembly and chassis design this week.

Approximate ride height the customer is looking for.


Disassembled and fixtured on a chassis table to start the frame build.

The second is a 66 Suburban for a local customer. He really liked what we did with the 57 Suburban we did last year and wanted something similar. We are just going through the planning phase now so a lot of things are still up in the air. It is looking like a large cubic inch big block will be the power source. Currently trying to balance drivability with the big HP numbers he is looking for. Full Fast track chassis, 6 speed auto, shaved and smoothed exterior with a few subtle body mods that are still being worked out. More to come soon!

We were also able to wrap up the 70 C-10 and get that off to upholstery. Here are a few better shots of the truck than I posted last week. Still need to fab up inner fenders and finish the dress up on the motor when it comes back from upholstery.

Looking great, can't wait to see more pics of these builds.
