Transform your 1953–1962 Chevrolet Corvette with a completely new Scott’s Hotrods custom chassis engineered specifically for the first-generation C1 Corvette. Whether you’re building a classic cruiser, high-performance restomod, Pro-Touring Corvette or an ultra-low custom, every Scott’s C1 Corvette chassis is Built-To-Order around your vehicle, drivetrain, suspension, wheels, tires and desired ride height.
This isn’t a universal frame or a modified stock Corvette chassis. Scott’s builds each 1953–1962 C1 Corvette chassis specifically for the application using our proprietary Independent Front Suspension, Equal-Length Parallel 4-Bar rear suspension, mandrel-bent frame rails and heavy-duty suspension components engineered for modern handling, braking and ride quality.
Every Scott’s C1 Corvette chassis is built around the specifications of the car it will ultimately go underneath.
Your engine, transmission, wheel and tire combination, brake package, steering configuration, suspension choice and desired ride height are considered before the chassis is manufactured. Engine and transmission mounts can be positioned for your drivetrain, while suspension and chassis configuration can be tailored around how you intend to use the Corvette.
From a mild small-block cruiser to an LS- or LT-powered restomod, Scott’s builds the chassis around your Corvette and your goals rather than forcing your build to conform to a generic frame.

From Bare Chassis to Complete Roller
Scott’s can configure your 1953–1962 Corvette chassis with substantially more than the basic frame and suspension package.
Available upgrades include Wilwood disc brakes, power rack & pinion steering, performance coilovers, sway bars, Moser rear-end upgrades, Watt’s Link, custom aluminum fuel tank, in-tank fuel pump, stainless steel fuel lines, stainless steel brake lines, steering linkage and more.
This allows your chassis to arrive much closer to a complete foundation for the build, reducing the number of components that need to be sourced, engineered and adapted separately.

Some modifications to the Chevrolet Corvette floor are required to accept a Scott’s Chassis.
A qualified professional mechanic or fabricator with the technical understanding of product function and installation procedures must install all Scott’s Hotrods products.
We stand behind ALL of the parts we manufacture. Other parts that we do not manufacture such as brakes, steering racks, ball joints, brake flex lines, power steering lines, etc carry their own manufacturers warranties. We are not responsible for these items outside of their original warranty.
All of Scott’s Hotrods manufactured parts are guaranteed to be free of defects in materials & workmanship for the lifetime of the part. Scott’s Hotrods warranty is non-transferable.
Every Scott’s C1 Corvette chassis is manufactured in-house in Knoxville, Tennessee using American-sourced materials and components wherever possible.
The foundation begins with mandrel-bent 2″x4″x.120-wall frame rails, a one-piece heavy-duty IFS crossmember and 100% TIG-welded construction.
Whether you’re building a beautifully restored-looking C1 with modern road manners or a high-horsepower Corvette restomod capable of embarrassing much newer cars, the chassis underneath it should be engineered for the way you intend to drive it.
