We started this project because we could not find an old looking slingshot dragster that would tech. Most old chassis needed so much updating it was not worth the work. The newer chassis out there are a mix between modern A-arm, canard, high sitting cars with an engine stuffed up front so they can call it an FED. Not busting on them, just not our cup of Nitro.

Our chassis is new with the look of a traditional rail from the 60s. The chassis is built with all SFI specs to tech to 7.50 and up in NHRA. For an additional charge we can build the car to run top fuel. All chassis kits come tacked together ready for finish welding. Any options that are purchased come with brackets tacked in place with option installed. We wanted to make a simple old school chassis that you can add a motor and tranny, get it finish welded, and go racing. No buying a “kit” of tubes that is supposed to be bent and fishmouthed correctly, only to find that without a jig, it is near impossible to build it straight and true. We spent months developing the chassis to be easy to finish for the true home builder. You don’t need to be a fab shop to work on our dragster, we did the hard work for you.

 

OUR GOAL WAS SIMPLE: We wanted to bring back the glory days of drag racing when front engine dragsters were KING and you didn’t need a house mortgage to race. We were sick and tired of seeing $30,000-$50,000 cars being built that only the few could afford. My personal car is shown here with a Small Block Ford (yeah we love Fords) Powerglide, 9 inch rear with 35 spline axles and spool, drum brakes, spoke laced front wheels and slotted window rear wheels. My budget is $15,000.00 with all NEW parts except motor/trans rebuilt. Budget build that runs in the 9s.

 

The chassis has the following:

*1 1/2" chrome moly .095 wall tubing pod 

*Old-time looks with modern SFI 2.6 certification

*Upper and lower cockpit "pod" hoops made in one piece eliminating welding

*CAD designed chassis

*Tight tolerance fishmouths for easy welding 

*22 inch wide cage for big guys-Fits up to 6-ft 5-inch tall guys too 

*Kit made so front can be varied length

*Built in jig fixture and tack welded *No fitting of tubing like other "kits"

*Front end and cockpit pod can be nested for shipping in 2 pieces

*Step down tubing size for front tubing to give better aesthetics

*Available bare frame, or with rearend housing and front axle added, all the way to rolling chassis

*Body and seat kit coming soon

You too can build a slingshot that works as good as this one. Our car ran 9.992 with a basically stock small block 302 Ford with injection. Some where around 285 HP !! puts you in the 9s. A mild small block chevy or windsor would put you in the mid to low 9s at 150 mph. We are in the process of building our new engine to run 7.50s.

 

Old Style Straight Axle Front End

No A-Arms here. we only build nostalgia looking rails. We use SPE Anglia Style spindles with 3 arm steering. 5/8" radius rods and steering linkage come pre-tapped with chrome moly rod ends and grade 8 hardware. Nothing else to buy...we make it easy for you to build.

Certified Cage with Nostalgia Look

We build all our frame kits with single spine cage to give it a nostalgia look. Cage is up to date with 1" helmet bars and 1 1/2" main tubes. Our upper rail is upswept to keep the cage short looking, much like a Gilmore car. We have had guys in our car that were 6 ft 5 inch tall and up to 300 lbs.

Nostalgia Looks - Modern Certification

The best of both. Don't get roped into redoing a 30-40 year old chassis when you can have new..cheaper...safer.
We've been there- done that. When you are done you have a really cool looking car that is just worn out.
Three decades of abuse work wonders on tubing, fatiguing even the best chassis.
