1957-1959 Ford Fairlane Chassis Overview

Scott’s Hotrods 1957-1959 Ford Fairlane Chassis replaces the original frame, steering and suspension with a completely modern, vehicle-specific performance foundation. Each chassis is built-to-order specifically for your Fairlane, allowing us to engineer the suspension, drivetrain placement, track width and ride height around your individual build rather than forcing your car to fit a universal chassis design.

At the front, Scott’s proprietary Independent Front Suspension features a heavy-duty one-piece crossmember, massive 1-1/8″x.250-wall DOM Tubular Upper & Lower A-Arms, built-in anti-dive and rack & pinion steering. Out back, our proven equal-length Parallel 4-Bar suspension locates a Moser Ford 9-inch rear end using heavy-duty adjustable DOM link bars. Choose from premium Coilovers for performance-oriented handling or Scott’s SuperSlam Airbag suspension for an ultra-low, adjustable stance. The page’s current equipment list already backs up these construction details.

Whether you’re restoring a 1957 Ford Fairlane 500, building a Coyote-powered restomod, creating a high-horsepower Pro Touring car or taking a 1958 or 1959 Fairlane in a completely custom direction, Scott’s builds the chassis around your vision. No leaf springs. No drum brakes. No cookie-cutter chassis. Just modern suspension, modern steering and vehicle-specific engineering underneath one of Ford’s most iconic full-size classics.

Building a Coyote-Swapped 1957-1959 Ford Fairlane?

Modern horsepower deserves a chassis engineered to handle it. Scott’s Hotrods can build your 1957-1959 Ford Fairlane Chassis around a modern 5.0L Coyote drivetrain, taking engine placement, transmission fitment, steering clearance, exhaust routing, suspension geometry and overall stance into consideration from the beginning. We also offer chassis configurations for traditional Ford power including Y-Block, Windsor, FE and 429/460 combinations, giving you the freedom to build your Fairlane traditional, modern or somewhere in between.

Scott’s knows firsthand what it takes to build a modernized Fairlane. Our chassis and engineering have already been put to work underneath a 700-horsepower Coyote-swapped 1957 Ford Fairlane 500, a build featured by Modern Rodding. Whether your goal is a refined restomod or serious modern performance, your chassis should be engineered around the horsepower you intend to put through it—not become the limiting factor later.

Want Your 1957-1959 Fairlane to Lay Frame?

Scott’s Hotrods SuperSlam Fairlane Chassis is engineered from the beginning specifically for air suspension, giving your classic Ford an ultra-low stance without treating airbags as an afterthought. The SuperSlam combines Scott’s proprietary IFS and equal-length Parallel 4-Bar rear suspension with Slam Specialties airbags and external shocks, providing adjustable ride height, extensive suspension travel and the ability to put your Fairlane down on the ground when parked.

Whether you’re building a bagged 1957 Fairlane 500, Coyote-powered restomod, custom cruiser or show-stopping ’58 or ’59 Fairlane, the SuperSlam chassis gives you the dramatic stance you want while retaining properly engineered suspension geometry and a chassis designed to actually be driven. Air it out for the show. Raise it to driving height. Hit the road.
