The chassis team at Superior Glass Works draws upon decades of street rod experience and uses the finest components from Kugel Komponents, Heidt’s, Wilwood, Currie, Dutchman and others to create a custom street rod chassis that meets your needs. Our full-service shop produces hot rod rolling chassis that perfectly match the street rod bodies we manufacture and allow us to offer specially-priced Complete Rolling Packages. Other chassis are also available for 1947–1955 Chevy pick ups and 1935–1940 Fords.

Restoration or modification of your existing hot rod frame, even if not listed above, is also offered. Using your original frame or frame rails is often a great place to start building a hot rod chassis.     Superior Glass Works can upgrade your old rails with boxing plates, independent front suspension (IFS), and modern-drive-train compatibility, while allowing you to preserve the original “soul” of your ride.

Superior Glass Works builds complete four-wheel independent show chassis, basic perimeter street rod frames, or whatever you specify. We most commonly install Heidt’s and Kugel Komponents independent front-ends, but you can also choose a solid front axle or AirRide. Out back, new, Currie Ford 9-inch round-back rear-ends are built specifically for your chassis and body combination, and these can be hung with parallel leaf springs, four-bar with coil-over shocks, or air bags. For the ultimate in show and go, a Kugel, a Heidt’s, or a Corvette independent rear can be installed. Again, AirRide bags can be fitted and our experts can provide the ride height you are looking for through component selection and frame modifications. The Power Brake Package includes installation of the power booster, the master cylinder, and the brake pedal. Many options are available that allow us to build a chassis that matches your project goals and budget. Popular options include running steel or stainless steel brake lines, upgrading to disc brakes in the rear, and various levels of polishing for the suspension components. Let us know your motor and transmission choice and we’ll install the appropriate mounts.

Our chassis are built on heavy, permanent, model-specific jig fixtures, guaranteeing a true, straight, and square chassis every time. If desired, most may be used with an original steel body. All rails are laser cut or stamped from 10-gauge pickled and oiled (P&O) steel, and fully boxed with the same. An engineered X-member or K-member fabricated from 1.5-inch round tubing, plus the core support and the cross members, provide the structural strength necessary to handle typical street rod horsepower.

Superior Glass Works understands that each car is different, which is why we don’t pre-build chassis or sell them in “stages.” (Stages are for acting, not building hot rods!) Each is CUSTOM CHASSIS - built to your specs.  Select a chassis from the list to the right for make and model specifications and options.  You can also download our catalog for Perimeter Frame, Complete Rolling Chassis, and chassis option and upgrade prices. We strongly recommend, however, that you call so we can personally discuss your project needs and provide you with an accurate, custom quote.
