Projects Chassis Engineering

Yep, Looks like it's over
Everything I've ever gotten from them has been really nice

 

I stocked up on a bunch of stuff earlier this week. I wish I could have afforded more. I will probably sell some of the stuff I don't need, but I was hoping to make another run into town. Not positive and no one would comment, but there was an Alston Race Cars trailer out front Wednesday. It will be interesting to see if Heidt's has a bunch of new stuff in the near future...

 

I guess I should have read this post and added to my response. Indeed everything says Heidt's will be where to get the stuff now.

 

dagnabit. apparently the shock kit that I ordered wasn't in their inventory.... oh well

I like what justabeater37 says above. It would be great if Heidt made all the CE parts now.

 

Hey justabeater37,
Any extra 32 front or rear boxing plates?

 

No, they were pretty low on those. I have a bunch of triangulated 4 link kits, a Model A 4 bar front, several of the 1" drop crossmembers, a half dozen or so sets of 4" dropped steering arms for drum brakes, a 35-6 Ford wishbone splitting kit, and a ton of boxed frame engine mounts.

 

From what I saw, They made 90%, went there many of times and saw the owner Roy, welding up parts along with his help. So sad to see it end. RIP Roy.

 

I see today they announced they will live on through Heidts parent company.

 

That is great news. The old tried and true bolt on solutions will continue to be available.

It would have been a heck of a loss to hot rodding for those products to just go away.

I'm not knocking any other manufacturers as they all have their niche and purpose for which we all are thankful. Keeping CE products among the possibilities should serve us all well.

Happy Al

 

i wonder if they bought all the welding & fab equiptment also ?? what about roys personal collection of vehicles ??

 

lets hope they keep the prices decent

 

Great that it ended up with a decent and well based company

 

Good news - I really like Chassis Engineering parts - back in Sept 2017 bought some for my 1939 Ford from a stocking dealer in North Carolina.

 

Great news! Even better news if they would announce they'll keep manufacturing I n the USA !

 

The letter said they are keeping most of the staff so it's possible they will keep making the stuff.

 

CE always had great products, good to see the product line will continue.

 

My welder was down, (1998) so I called and asked about some Chassis Engineering Chrysler hemi mounts.
The young man that answered said the owner, Roy, had made up a couple of sets for his own Chrysler hemi. They weren't in the catalog yet, so I got the pair for $16 + shipping, another $7.
Nice mounts, proportionally correct, bolt patterned bores perfect.
I also have the entire kit for rear spring change over for my '47 sedan.
Nothing I would change, bracketing and springs are first class.
I'll box the frame tails, however. Original channel was good to hold the fuel tank, NOT a fat Ford with grandchildren as passengers...
