The
cost for a Custom Chassis depends on how much of the suspension we
have to build from scratch, the major cost in a custom chassis is
suspension. We can build anything
from
a complete custom suspension to adapting most any suspension out
there to your chassis. Please remember there are limitations to what
will fit and work properly. We can design a front suspension if you
want something different or there is nothing that will fit inside the
body of your car.
We
have used the Mustang II front suspension design, we have even
modified Mustang II suspension designs where we had to alter the
width to fit in a early 1929 Ford Model A and a 1929 Essex Coupe
which we built a chassis for including custom front
suspension. Just
try to
finding a chassis from Fat Man
for
a 1929 Essex 3 window coupe with 31 x 18.5 tires and a ride height
of 5 inches.
I
have even built the complete front suspension from scratch
where every part
was custom built for the car.
We
have used Camaro, Nova, Corvette and Plymouth Volare front clips and
even late model Corvette rear suspensions. Where a custom suspension
is wanted or required we use two different computer programs to
design a Custom front suspensions. To allow for a desired caster and
camber change, a desired roll center and anti squat or anti dive. We
take care of "Bump Steer" (wheels change direction as
suspension moves up and down) a problem many adapted suspensions
have. |

By
using our computer programs to analyze the suspension and make the
necessary changes we make
sure every thing works right.
Probably
the strangest suspension swap was when we took a Volare station
wagon and removed the stock suspension. In place of the original
suspension we installed a straight axle from a dodge van. We raised
the whole car up several inches to allow tall off road tires to be
installed on all four corners. The car was to be driven in Baja
Mexico, not to race but to have access to beaches so the owner could
go surfing.
The
basic cost for a rolling chassis with OEM suspension components and
brakes start at $12,000
and this would be a chassis ready to accept your body and drive train.
This does not include any Electrical, Fuel Lines, fuel tank, exhaust
or
tires and wheels.
If
you would like to view some of the Custom Chassis we have built over
the last 19
years just click on the Chassis Photo. But please remember each
chassis is built to the
customers car. We do not build a generic chassis or a kit we do not
belive in "ONE SIZE FITS ALL"
