The team at Chassis Engineering has decided to step back into the world of building complete racecars again in 2017 under the direction of owner, Clayton Murphy, the company has shared with Dragzine. Their new chassis design is a work of art that any racer will appreciate and will enjoy putting to good use.

Chassis Engineering began building complete cars in 1997 and continued that service until 2001 when the economy took a downward turn. During that time period, the shop built just over 100 top-level cars, many of which are still in competition today. After Murphy purchased the company in 2013, one of his goals was to use the talented staff and equipment at Chassis Engineering to start making complete rolling chassis racecars for its customers again.

According to Murphy, it was customer demand that has reignited the full in-house builds. “About six months ago we decided we wanted to start building cars again, but we wanted to build high-quality, one-off type cars. We had a couple of customers that wanted to build some Outlaw 632-style cars, so we made the choice to just try and build a couple of them first. The cars were built to get the ball rolling and so we could figure out exactly how we wanted to build them.”

Chassis Engineering has designed the cars so they can move the wheelbase, engine placement, and other parts around to meet the specific needs of the customer. These cars won’t be cookie-cutter and can fit a variety of classes.

“The cars we’re building right now can be used as heads-up, Pro Mod-style cars. What we can build will be very diverse and will cover everything from a bracket-style car all the way up to a five-second Pro Mod,” Murphy says.

Right now, Chassis Engineering can do pretty much everything in-house to give the customer a turn-key racecar, except for paint, but Murphy shares that they’re working on that, as well.
