Roadster Shop Projects

[Roadster Shop]

Here are a few custom chassis that we just completed in the last few weeks.

This is a real wild chassis that we built for a 1966 Lincoln Continental being built RPM Hot Rods. Plans called for a big HP LS7 and the stock unibody design and limited options for suspension wouldn't fit the bill.











We also made a custom version of our Fast Track suspension to accommodate an air bag set up with external shock.

That shop is awesome!

Another unique chassis build... a 1953 Dodge Meadowbrook Wagon. This is one of 4 chassis we have built for a customer that has a little different taste than most. He has a collection of rare cars that are built in somewhat of a resto-mod theme. All are 100% stock appearing, with stock engines, interiors, exterior, trim, and must sit at a stock ride height. The mechanicals of the cars are then hot rodded... all of the engines are built to 400 + HP, 5 or 6 speed transmissions are installed, and since there are generally no aftermarket suspension options available for these cars, we build one-off chassis for them.

This one would be sick as is, slammed with big steelies and white walls, but the owner is into the stock ride height look.





Here are the frame rails being built. We had to build a jig specific to the shape of these rails that keeps them true while welding.



Completed chassis with the original 6 banger in place.






Painted, completed frame installed under the car.

And here is a custom 1970 Challenger Chassis being built with our Fast Track IFS. This is the same type of chassis will be under the 2011 Good Guys Give Away Challenger.

The chassis is mocked up at ride height and tacked together on a flat frame table. From here it will go into a fixtured jig for final welding in order to keep the chassis squared and true.





All bends are fabricated so there are no wrinkled areas that you would get from bending square tube.



Low profile frame rails and center crossmember so a 3" drop can be built into the floor in order to retain headroom.

+1 on the shop. Class operation, from the projects I've seen so far they're deserving of a museum.
