We appreciate your interest in Fatman Fabrications and our line of hot rod chassis products! Our mission is to develop parts that allow you to bring the handling and ride quality of your vintage hot rod up to the safety and comfort standards of today. We all love the look of these fine cars and trucks, but want the drivability of modern cars.
We cover a vast variety of vehicle from the late 1920’s to the 1980’s. When a new application is being investigated, we first examine the stock suspension to see how it can be improved. For many people who want an economical upgrading approach to building their hot rod, this concept works well. Then we go back and look at ways to completely replace the vintage designs with more modern components. This may include our Strut Kits for Unibody cars, Frame stubs, and complete new chassis. When the project is an attempt to make the car all it could be, this is often the better way to go. Our polished stainless control arms are an example of how a fully functional suspension can have show quality appearance without sacrificing practicality.
All the tech staff are experienced rodders and can find the answers you need. Between our 40 plus employees, we personally own over 20 hot rods of varying types. We are unique as a manufacturer in that we also run a very active installation shop where we work on at least 50 customers cars each year. We have been building hot rods and parts since the 70’s, and that pool of experience is always at your service! We’ll be pleased to personally guide you thru a plan that will produce the hot rod you’ve dreamed of for years!
Our trick new 55-57 Chevy passenger car chassis is designed to fit directly to the original body and sheetmetal. There are 5 different bumper mount bolt patterns used on these cars, so we do not drill these, but we do punch reference points.. You can tuck your bumper up to a tighter custom fit and drill the one set of holes that suit your car. The only modification required to the body will be a small revision of the left rear truck floor for proper clearance of the upper Coilover/Shockwave mount.that small modification allows us to get a 5in stroke coilover to fit, allowing extra travel over the more commonly used 4in units.
