Our 1931 Chevy chassis is an exact reproduction of the original frame shape and size.  Heavy guage, fully boxed steel frame rails further strengthened with a K-member provided a solid foundation for a modern street rod.
 

We can build yours with a traditional axle front end, or make it handle like a modern sports car with independent front and/or rear suspension systems. For an independent front, we recommend Kugel Komponents as it permits using the original core support and front fender braces.  (Note: The Mustang II IFS is not recommended for this body due to the front fender-to-frame design which is similar to a ’32 Ford.  Heidt's Superide also available.) In the rear, the triangulated 4-bar is a good choice given the size and weight of these cars. 

Our technical staff will discuss your ideas and goals with you to determine the best combination of components for your project. We offer a well-equipped Complete Rolling Chassis to use as a starting point, optioned a follows:
