Back a few years ago I had an accident with my 1938 Chevy coupe. The frame was badly bent so I went to Bob and his guys at Progressive Automotive to have a new one built. They did an outstanding job. I actually rolled up to their shop pulling a trailer with my Jag rear tires and all still attached to the old cross member. They had the new frame with the front end fully assembled ready to go. Bob’s guy’s got right to work positioning the jag rea on the new crossmember, building brackets for the pinion support’s, radius rods, sway bar and welding them to the frame. In about 3 hours I had a fully rolling chassis. If you are thinking about a new frame, Progressive Automotive is the place to go.

The best chassis I’ve ever seen, and I’ve been doing this for 50 years. Highest quality materials, finest craftsmanship I’ve ever seen. Paint work is perfection at its finest. There are no corners cut – period. I was blown away with the chassis I got under my sweet ’51 Chevy truck. Hot Rod Heaven highly recommends P/A chassis and frames.

Customer service is top notch. Bob will.answer any question you have and even exchange parts if needed. My IFS front kit and 4 Bar rear kit with Shockwave has my truck slammed about 8″ off the ground at ride height and looks perfect.

Began this build with a 38 coupe, torn down completely. For chassis I wanted C4 Corvette suspension front and rear with RideTech Shockwaves. To accomplish this I turned to Bob At Progressive Automotive to furnish entire rear frame section to bolt my diff to, and front crossmember kit to bolt my A frames and steering to. An 8 year build at home garage, but now its in its 7th year on the road with 70,000 miles and been in 42 states ! Its been a joy to drive and see the country in it. The ride quality is very nice too.
Thank you for making this possible !!
Highly recommend Progressive automotive for all your needs. Nice shop, service, and quality !

The powertrain and chassis are 100% stock with few exceptions. Ridetech coil overs in place of the composite springs and OE Corvette shocks. Air intake tubes & filters required since the radiator is directly in front of the throttle body. The truck weighs within 50# of the donor 2006 C6 Corvette Torquetube and drive shaft were lengthened 10.8″ to center wheels in wheel openings. The Corvette weight distribution is 50/50 the truck is 51/49 (F/R). Chassis ride height is the same as the donor, so driving dynamics are very similar to the Vette.
Truck is driven regularly in good weather.
To God be the Glory …
