This generation of Ford continues to mark its place in street rodding, and like previous generations, all body styles share the same chassis. Our reproduction chassis is made from 4-piece rails built and fully boxed in stout fixtures. This method insures that the original contours and shape are maintained and will match your body perfectly. Original body mount holes are pre-drilled with nuts or backing plates.

Our recommended front suspension is a Heidts or TCI Mustang II IFS. A traditional axle front end, Kugel Komponents IFS or Heidts Superide IFS is also available. In the rear, we recommend parallel leaf springs which we feel provide superior ride quality for these larger cars. We use a custom made spring pack which lowers the rear of the car and provides a nice hot-rod rake when combined with the IFS. To further lower the rear another 2”, we can mount these springs inboard of the frame, rather than under. A triangulated or parallel 4-bar is also an option. Another common customization to this chassis is ‘stepping’ the rear frame section inward 2” to accommodate larger tires. Not to be confused with a radical pro-street look, this helps get some bigger meats under the car without modifying the fenders.
