I have wanted to start a thread like this for a long time. We get lots of questions from people asking who makes certain parts for us, who the supplier is for this nifty part or what car that part came off. For the overwhelming majority of the parts we sell, the answer is "We made it." Obviously we don't make nuts and bolts and things like that, but of the nearly 20,000 individual component part numbers in our system, over 9,000 of them (and counting!) enter our building as raw material.

I'll use this thread to post pictures of completed parts, components, machinery, raw materials, assembly, and maybe occassionally the people here at Chassisworks. I'll post a short description of what you're looking at with each. There will be some sneak peeks along the way too.

I'll be happy to answer questions about anything that is posted. Not everything will be Pro-Touring related but, if nothing else, I hope people will still think it's cool. Some pics will be taken with a camera, others with my phone so I'll apologize ahead of time if some are not 'professional' grade.

So, without further ado, here's some pics!

Chassisworks designed and manufactures several different sizes of precision spherical pivot balls. They reduce deflection common to bushing style control arms, are fully rebuildable, and are incredibly strong. These are fresh from one of our Mazak CNC turning stations and will be used in our TCP lower control arms for early Mustangs.



And here is a small production run of the TCP Lower Control Arms ready to be boxed and shipped. They have increased rigidity and feature our TrueCenter™ pivot socket which improves suspension geometry by better controlling the balljoint travel arch.



Continuing the billet theme, these are our billet aluminum lower control arms. Originally these were built for our #7154 Canted Billet 4-Bar backhalf, a universal kit used in everything from '69 Camaros, to 2010 Camaros. Okay, it fits other cars too, that's why it's universal. Anyway, they were built for that kit, then I had a customer who HAD to have them for his Chevelle. So Chris gave me a price and the guy bought some arms. Now they are available for 64-72 A-Body, 78-87 G-Body, 67-2002 F-Body and 64.5-70 Mustangs.



That's all for tonight, I'll post some more stuff tomorrow.
