Re: Aftermarket chassis choices

I built a '63 vette and now a '67. I have a '59 I'm using a box frame chassis with c4 suspension, but that's on hold for now.

I'll check out Industrial Chassis, but its not clear if they sell a rolling chassis or just retrofit parts.

Everything I've read indicates a ladder bar design frame is relatively poor at providing a basis for a well handling performance type vehicle. Good at pulling and hauling heavy loads. It just depends what the goal is.

Diamonding the ladder is not a concern as there are not substantial forces on a car chassis as in your analogy. Its the torsional rigidity that is the concern.
