The foundation of any performance vehicle is the selection of a good chassis. Therefore we offer quality chassis suitable for your needs. Ask us about our polished powder coated process for the A-arms. You won't believe how good this looks and how easy upkeep is.

CORVETTE & TRI-5 CHASSIS
The chassis featured are rectangular 2” x 4” x 0.120” wall mandrel bent tube frames using CAD / CAM technology and CNC laser cut components. We feature an Art Morrison GT Sport Chassis for 1953-1962 Corvettes and Tri-5 Chassis for 1955-1957 Chevrolets. Both are “bolt-on” chassis with the Tri-5 chassis accommodating all ’55-57 sedans, hardtops, convertibles, wagons, and nomads. These “bolt on” chassis provide passageways for the exhaust system through the frame allowing for a lower stance but yet maintaining ground clearance.

Up front is C5 IFS components complete with forged aluminum control arms and spindles for the Sport Chassis and tubular steel control arms for the Tri-5. Both chassis feature Strange adjustable coil-overs, a hefty 1” sway bar to reduce body roll, and either a 15:1 or 20:1 AGR Power Rack for steering performance.
The Corvette chassis has been designed to accommodate 4-5-6 speed manual transmissions as well as PG, TH350, 400, and 700R4 automatic transmissions. Tri-5 Chassis can accommodate 4-speed, T-56 6-speed, Richmond 5-speed or 6-speed manual transmissions and Powerglide, TH350, TH400, and 700-R4 automatic. Integrated engine mounts allow for small block, big block and LS motors. A big block in the Tri-5 requires firewall modification. The LS engines require adapter plates utilizing small block mounts. Finally, the rear end is equipped with a 9” Ford with triangulated 4-bar, Strange adjustable coil-overs, and a ¾” sway-bar to minimize body roll.
 
CORVETTE CHASSIS WITH C-4 SUSPENSION
For those Corvette enthusiasts who require an independent rear suspension we feature a Street Shop Chassis for 1953-1982 Corvettes which utilize C4 suspension in the front and rear complete with a Dana rear end. Three chassis versions are available, ’53-62, ’63-67, and ’68-82. All are “bolt-on” chassis with the ‘53-62 chassis requiring minor body modification (body must be trimmed in spare tire well and on lower edges of front inner fender wells). Mounts for core support are included as well as stock brackets for front and rear bumper mounts. The body, engine and transmission mounts, and the clutch pivot bracket are in factory locations and the transmission crossmember is removable.

Note: '63-82 Chassis bolt on without cutting fiberglass

Note: '53-62 Chassis bolt on with only minor modifications. The body must be trimmed in spare tire well and on lower edges of front inner fender well.
