Got a unique build in mind? We’ve got you covered! 🛠️💥

Check out this custom chassis for a 1950 Plymouth Suburban! 🚗✨

Even if you have an oddball or rare project car, we can build a custom chassis tailored specifically for it.

If we don’t already have the measurements in our database, all we need is the car body. We 3D scan the body and custom engineer the chassis to get your project moving!

This 1950 Suburban is getting set up for a powerful new powertrain, and we can’t wait to see it hitting the road! 🛣️🔥

Preserving the build! 🚘💥

We are making progress on this Coyote swap Fox Body Mustang! Since the undercarriage was in mint condition, we wanted to ensure it stays that way for years to come.

To give the owner complete peace of mind while driving, we applied a durable Raptor bed liner coating to the bottom.

Not only does it protect against stone chips and road debris, but it also helps deaden road noise for a cleaner ride.

How do you prefer to protect the undercarriage on your custom builds?

Custom color-matched LS3 crate engine dropped right into a custom powder-coated chassis. 🔥⚙️

Buying a chassis from Schwartz Performance also means getting great pricing on crate engines to complete your build.

For this project, the customer gave us their exact car paint code, and we prepped and painted the entire engine block to match.

Now it’s ready to bolt straight into the chassis so they can get this ride on the road even faster! 🛠️💨

Which classic build are you taking? 🚗👇

We bought this ‘53 Studebaker years ago as a project. It’s super clean underneath coming out of California, with just a little rust in the rockers and a few minor dents—plus, we’ve already got the replacement rockers, fenders, and quarters ready to go!

Now we need your help deciding on the next build. If you had to pick between restoring a classic ‘53 Studebaker or a ‘71 Firebird, which one are you choosing, and which one do you think is cooler?

Classic Elegance Meets Modern Power: Restomod 1964 Jaguar Mark II 🐆🔥

Looks like a stock classic on the outside, but this sleeper Jag is packed with custom upgrades from front to back!

Key features on this build include:

• Custom Wheels & Brakes: 18-inch custom wire wheels with factory knockoffs built to clear 13-inch Baer Brakes.

• Sleek Exterior: Custom-fabricated tucked front valance/bumper replacing the bulky factory bumper.

• Upgraded Interior: Original factory wood grain preserved and paired with a custom console with cup holders. Plus, modern gauges, air conditioning, leather seats with high-density foam, and custom door storage compartments.

• Trunk Setup: Built-in custom bar setup perfect for your favorite scotch or wh***ey.

• Under the Hood: Disguised to look like a Jaguar engine with custom cat logo valve covers and intake, but powered by a reliable LT1 V8 producing over 500 HP at the crank!

What’s your favorite detail on this build—the trunk bar or the disguised 500 HP LT1?

⚡️️ All-wheel drive. Tesla power. 1968 Pontiac Firebird. ⚡️

The ‘68 Firebird EV swap is coming together! Here is a status update on the build:

• Chassis Installed: The Schwartz Performance G-Machine EV chassis is fully bolted into the car.

• Dual Powertrain: Front and rear Tesla powertrains are fitted for an all-wheel-drive setup.

• Battery Capacity: Engineered to fit 16 battery modules for massive range and instant power—14 housed in the main chassis layout and 2 positioned in the front section of the trunk.

With this setup, the 0–60 time is going to be absolutely insane! 🚘🔋

Help us plan this build! 🚗👇

We’ve got a solid California 1953 Studebaker in the shop! It has the original bright red paint with a white top, and we’re getting ready to bring it back to life with some new body panels.

We need your input on two big choices:

1️⃣ Paint Scheme: Would you keep the original two-tone look with the white top, or go all-red with a bright Ferrari or Viper Red?

2️⃣ Powertrain: What engine would you drop under the hood? Big Block, Small Block, LS, or LT?

Upgrading your suspension, or switching to a high-performance chassis (like our Schwartz Performance G-Machine chassis) allows your car to pull anywhere from 1.2 to over 1.5 Gs in the corners.

The downside? Extreme lateral force sloshes oil to one side of the pan, leading to oil starvation and potential engine failure.

Here is how to protect your engine:

• Baffled Oil Pan: Helps keep oil contained near the pickup tube during hard cornering.

• Accusump System: A cost-effective safeguard that uses air pressure and a floating piston to feed oil into the engine the moment pressure drops.

• Dry Sump System: The ultimate solution for oil management, though retrofitting one can be costly, especially on non-standard or classic engines like a Pontiac.

What setup are you running on your build?
