CUSTOM FRONT AND REAR SUBFRAMES
Designed to fit your chassis

No longer do you have to go to the junk yard to buy a Camaro or whatever front chassis section to "clip" your car or truck. We have been making custom designed (Front) IFS and (Rear) IRS, standard, or stepped chassis subframes for a few years now, and it has become part of our standard product line. We can design a front or rear-steer subframe for any street rod, classic Chevy, large car or truck. Whether you want air bags, or coilovers, we will design an IFS subframe that will be the same width as your chassis rails, have the same wheel base, any track width, any step over the front IFS, engine mounts, rack-and-pinion steering, core support mount or whatever is necessary. Computer generated, mandrel-bent, custom steps over the IFS is also an option.

Our standard brake packages with these IFS "clips" are the ‘70-81 Camaro 11-inch disc brake (5-on-4 3/4) or the ‘77-88 Impala/Caprice 12-inch disc brake (5-on-5). We offer steering linkage kits, stock column adapters to splined U-joints, Flaming River or ididit columns to solve your steering hook-up problems.

The rear chassis subframes can be tubbed, stepped, air bagged or whatever you’d like. To complete your new rear clip, we jig-narrow and straighten Ford rearends and use Dutchman alloy axles any spline, any wheel bolt-pattern, big bearings, any flange (GM, Ford or Mopar). We also offer a universal rear 4-link kit with two styles of Panhard bars and a universal transmission cross-member/trans mount kit. Both come extra long so you can cut-to-fit for your chassis needs.

You can ship us your chassis, or send us the dimensions, or drive your car to our shop for a free estimate. Be sure to ask us about installation at our shop, too! Other options include custom bent 1-inch od front-and-rear sway bars, Wilwood or high performance brakes. Complete rearends or housings are available from Halibrand, Alston’s FAB9, new ‘58 Ford style housings, Championship style, or bring your own! We are a dealer for Air Ride Technologies, Racing Brakes, Wilwood and many other popular street rod and classic Chevy manufacturers.

Bring your ride into the future, and have a great handling hot rod with a custom subframe! You’ll have rack-and-pinion steering, disc brakes, narrower front track for more turning room under the fender, coilovers or air bags, and it will mate perfectly to the width of your existing frame rails. Most of all you’ll have all the adjustability we build into all of our other IFS kits and direct replacement chassis!
