Advanced Chassis Design

Built Around a Better Approach to the Chassis

Advanced Chassis Design was created to develop modern chassis and suspension systems for classic American cars and trucks without allowing existing chassis dimensions or suspension layouts to dictate the final result.

ACD approaches the chassis as a complete vehicle system. Suspension geometry, steering, braking, drivetrain placement, ride height, wheel and tire packaging, chassis structure, and serviceability are considered together from the beginning.

Development starts digitally in CAD and progresses through CNC fabrication, purpose-built fixturing, prototype assembly, vehicle integration, testing, and refinement.

The 1947–1954 Chevrolet 3100 and GMC 100 platform is the first ACD development program, with additional classic American vehicle platforms planned as the company grows.

The objective is straightforward: modern ride quality, handling, steering, braking, and drivability in the classic vehicles people actually want to drive.

Our Philosophy

The upright is the foundation. ACD develops the suspension and chassis around the needs of the vehicle.

Industry & DevelopmentPartners

Interested in Working With ACD?

ACD welcomes conversations with manufacturers, suppliers, technical partners, and other companies serving the high-end restomod market.

The development process touches suspension components, brakes, steering, coilovers, drivetrain components, wheels and tires, fabrication equipment, CAD and manufacturing technology, and many other areas of the vehicle.

The goal is not to collect logos. ACD is interested in relationships where the products, technical knowledge, or capabilities of both companies can contribute to a better finished chassis and vehicle.

If your company sees an opportunity to work with ACD during development of the 3100 program or a future chassis platform, contact us and introduce yourself.
