Fatman manufactures a complete 1955-1957 Ford Thunderbird Chassis with plenty of upgrade options to make your car perform like you want! It seems like everyone likes the iconic 2-passenger Thunderbird styling, but frankly, driving a restored car can be a real disappointment in terms of handling and ride quality. Our new chassis can transform that classic Thunderbird into a clean hot rod. Our new chassis fits with minimal trunk floor mods to accommodate the 5 inch long stroke Ridetech rear coilovers that contribute so much to ride quality and handling.

Our frames are built using heavy .188 wall rectangular tubing for more strength and lower cost! These are the strongest frames on the market, which is especially important on fiberglass cars. Our 1955-1957 Ford Thunderbird chassis are ready to fit your body! Call, email, or check out the listing for a builder's guide!
