How To Install a Subframe & Suspension
Chris Alston’s exclusive component packages are making real racing suspensions more affordable than ever. Today, anyone can purchase a complete 4-Link Suspension System, roll cage, and “tin” interior for less money than it takes to build a decent engine. Moreover, Chassisworks components and instruction sheets are specially designed for home installation by anyone with basic welding skills.
To demonstrate the economic advantages of various Chassisworks packages, Chris Alston set out to convert a stock 1965 Mustang GT into a combination Pro Street/Super Street machine — without spending more than $2000 (excluding wheels and tires). The finished product is rolling proof that a 10-second doorslammer chassis can, indeed, be built on even the most limited budget.
One secret to success is the universal Chassisworks Suspension System, which comes complete with a rear subframe; two coil springs; OEM-style shock absorbers; a tubular upper cross-member; adjustable-height lower shock mounts; front and rear suspension brackets; an adjustable track-locater assembly; and your choice of either ladder bars or 4-link. (Spring rates vary with the application; each set of springs is custom-matched to the particular vehicle by Chassisworks.)
