1937-1939 Chevrolet Coupe Chassis Overview

The sweeping fenders, tall grille and unmistakable body lines of a 1937-1939 Chevrolet Coupe make these cars ideal candidates for everything from traditional hot rods to completely modern restomods. But underneath that classic sheet metal, the original chassis, steering and suspension were designed nearly 90 years ago. A Scott’s Hotrods chassis replaces that outdated foundation with a complete modern platform engineered for dramatically improved handling, steering response, ride quality, braking capability, chassis rigidity and overall drivability.

Scott’s IFS features a heavy-duty one-piece 2″x4″x3/16″-wall crossmember, massive 1-1/8″x.250-wall DOM Tubular Upper & Lower A-Arms, built-in anti-dive, CNC-machined stainless steel adjustable upper A-Arm rod ends and oversized serviceable ball joints. Out back, our Parallel 4-Bar rear suspension locates a Moser Ford 9-inch rear end using heavy-duty adjustable DOM link bars and CNC-machined stainless steel rod ends. The entire suspension system is engineered to work together as part of the chassis rather than treating the front suspension, rear suspension and frame as separate components.

Coilover or SuperSlam – Build the Stance You Want

1937-1939 Chevy Coupe Coilover Chassis

For builders who want a low stance with excellent handling and predictable road manners, choose the Scott’s Coilover 1937-1939 Chevrolet Coupe Chassis. Aldan American Single-Adjustable Coilovers are standard, with additional performance shock options available. The Coilover configuration provides a responsive, controlled ride that’s equally at home underneath a comfortable highway cruiser, high-horsepower street rod or performance-oriented restomod.

Want Your 1937-1939 Chevy Coupe to Lay Frame?

If you’re building a custom Chevy that needs to sit extremely low, the Scott’s SuperSlam Airbag Chassis is the answer. Rather than simply adding airbags to a chassis designed around Coilovers, the SuperSlam configuration is built around air suspension and the desired stance from the beginning. Drop your Chevrolet down for the aggressive, ground-hugging look you want at the show, then raise it to a practical driving height when it’s time to hit the road.

A slammed 1937, 1938 or 1939 Chevrolet Coupe has a presence few other hot rods can match. The long fenders and flowing body lines become even more dramatic when the body is positioned tight over the wheels. Combine that stance with Scott’s IFS, rack & pinion steering, Parallel 4-Bar rear suspension and a Moser Ford 9-inch and you get a classic custom appearance backed by an entirely modern foundation.

Built Around Your Engine & Transmission

Every Scott’s 1937-1939 Chevrolet chassis is Built-To-Order, which means we’re not forcing your project to conform to a predetermined drivetrain configuration. Your engine and transmission choices are considered when your chassis is manufactured, allowing the foundation of the vehicle to be configured around the actual combination you’re planning to run.

Building an LS-powered 1937 Chevy? LT-swapped 1938 Chevrolet? Small-Block or Big-Block powered 1939 Coupe? Scott’s offers engine mounting configurations for a wide variety of modern and traditional powerplants. Transmission mounting, steering clearance, suspension packaging and desired ride height can all be addressed as part of the chassis configuration before your frame is built.
