Home > Airkewld Army > Kit Car Chassis - 85
The Avery family in Texas has quite a unique kit car and the PRO's are getting the chance to build a chassis similar to the MAD Manx. It will be shortened, shockless and ready for his Subaru engine he will be using. This is going to be a fun build! The best clients in the world come to the PRO's at Airkewld because quality, attention to detail is missing in today's society. But our team excels in it. We live it, we breathe it, it is in our DNA. Follow along while we transform this drivetrain from rags to riches. If you are interested in a chassis like this, you can check out the options here.

Contrary to belief, the shockless beam can and does ride amazing when using Airkewld's delrin bushings. One tip though, if the vehicle is adjusted all the way down, the ride will be rough, lift it up and inch and the ride improves. All Shockless PRObuilt Beams are 6 inch narrowed.

Anytime you rebuild/update/upgrade your transaxle, it never comes with oil in it. Make sure you add 85/140wt to it after it is installed. It would be wise to update the trans mounts, nose cone seal and shift coupler/bushing if equipped. You can order the oil we recommend here.

The PRO's Recommendations:
  • Billet Bearing Caps make the job easy
  • The install kit comes with seal kits, hardware, axle nuts and seal races. Make sure every box is checked when doing a quality installation.
*Disc Brakes are optional and can be found here.
