Are you looking for a new frame or chassis for your Hot Rod, Street Rod or Truck?
All our frames, suspensions, and chassis are built to order, based on your requirements. This level of customization ensures that you get exactly what you want.
What are you looing for? Typical “Hot Rod California” stance? Stock appearance and stance with modern driving comfort? Ultra-low stance? Superior handling?
We can build to your requirements with our personalized approach.
Do you have a good frame and are a Do-It-Yourself person?
If you already have a good frame and prefer to take a do-it-yourself approach to your project, Progressive Automotive offers installation kits, too. Our installation kits are designed to provide everything you need to complete your chassis. They are specifically designed to be easy to install, allowing you to save time and effort. Our customer service is second to none, so customer questions about installation of our products are no problem. We don’t believe there are “stupid” questions. We even custom build kits for most vehicles not listed.
Have a good original frame, but don’t have the time or equipment to work on it?
Additionally, Progressive Automotive offers in-house upgrades for original frames. If you have a good, existing frame, we can custom built and install parts for it. You can find examples of these upgrades at the bottom of their About Our Frames section.
