Mission
At RR Frames / Backwoods Builds, we believe enjoyment can be found in hard work and pride of a quality product. We are the premier builder of modified Chevrolet frames and work relentlessly to provide our customers the best possible products and service for their classics. We aim to help you find more enjoyment in your classic car experience!
Why Frames?
We want your classic to drive like new. We breathe life back into your worn out and tired frame!
Our Chassis
Our niche market allows us to focus on the vehicles below. We certainly aren’t limited to these vehicles but they are our specialty and our brand was built on servicing these vehicles. Our goal is always to make your classic feel and drive like new and our track record to make that happen is spotless. Give us a call and let us work our magic!
1955-1957 CHEVY CARS
The small-block V8 changed the motorsports industry. The “Tri-Five” era dominated showrooms and races everywhere.
To start with we take your original frame, cut out the unnecessary pieces and crossmembers so you end up with clean frame rails with body mounts. We then sandblast the rails and bolt them on the jig. After that, all of our CNC cut metal pieces get bolted and welded on. We build new crossmembers and rear differential torque arm. When we are done with your frame, C4 Corvette suspension front and rear will bolt in, making it capable of handling tons of power, and will be guaranteed to put a smile on your face for years to come.
If you don’t have a good usable core car frame to start with, we can supply one for you – $500.00 for a split weld / two piece frame or $750 for a one piece / seamless frame. We prefer to use the one piece seamless frames (sometimes known as a California frame) because it just has a cleaner look compared to the two piece split weld frame rails, but can do either style of frame upon request. At RR Frames we can do as little or as much as you would like. We can build you just a modified frame, painted or unpainted or we can do a full rolling chassis. Please specify when calling or emailing engine and transmission choice. Anything heavier than an aluminum block LS and we will recommend using coilovers on the front.
1947-1959 CHEVY PICKUPS
Classic trucks back from the brink…hard to beat the vintage muscle style of America’s best-selling truck from the 1st Series advance-design Chevy pickup era.

1953-1962 CORVETTES
The “solid-axle” generation Corvettes capitalized on the public’s enthusiastic reaction to Chevrolet’s concept vehicle and they are absolutely stunning.

What would my rolling Chassis come with?
When buying a rolling chassis from us, you will receive a low mile 1988-96 Corvette suspension with Dana 44 rear. It will come with a rebuilt power rack and pinion, new upper and lower ball joints, new tie rod ends, new wheel bearings, new Bilstein shocks or coilovers for an additional price, new sway bar bushings, new u-joints, engine and trans mounts for either LS or small block Chevy engine and body mount bushing kit. Also included are power steering cooler, new brake pads and rotors and rear bump stops.
New and Upcoming
Soon we will be offering an all new Mandrel bent frame that can be purchased in bare steel or powder coated your color of choice. This can be purchased as just frame or rolling chassis. We are putting the first prototype of this frame under a 1957 Chevy 4 door wagon to work out all the kinks. We hope to have this offered for sale shortly thereafter. It will have a 495 HP crate LS3 with a T56 Magnum. We are also prototyping new suspension options for all our chassis other than the C4 Corvette suspension. Stay tuned for the build process!
