Motorsports Chassis Fabrication
Learn how to design frames and build roll cages.
Learn to fabricate and build custom vehicle frames and suspension
This course is perfect for the rock crawling, off-roading enthusiast. Our Motorsports Chassis Fabrication program will teach you the proper techniques of welding, cutting, and fabricating. You will learn to design blueprints and build custom chassis and suspension.
After you’ve developed and established your welding and cutting skills, you will have an opportunity to bring a custom project to life. If you keep your attendance and grades, you can work with your instructor to bring your own project or vehicle into the shop to work on!
Our shop supplies all the tools, safety gear, and equipment you’ll need to complete the program; it’s on you to bring the dedication and determination required to walk out of here with the skills you’ll need to begin a career.
What You’ll Learn in Just 12 Weeks
MIG/TIG Welding
An introduction to the most commonly used welding methods.
Tools and Terminology
Get hands-on experience with the terms, tools and skills you’ll use on the job.
Phase I
You’ll get a comprehensive introduction to both MIG and TIG welding, plasma and oxyacetylene cutting and shaping, grinding, finishing, and basic metalworking; learn the terminology of all the different tools in the chassis fab field, as well as how to use them. You’ll explore frame design and tube chassis, and have the opportunity to develop a roll bar for one of the WyoTech shop cars. Additionally, we’ll give you an introduction to basic machining, including lathe and mill.
- Develop MIG and TIG welding skills
- Gain traction in custom roll cage design
- Learn Machining “101”
Phase II
Putting the skills from your first six weeks to work, you’ll have an opportunity to create a chassis fabrication project right here in the shop. Choose from one of our pre-designed blueprints (including projects like shop tools and shop fixtures) or perform class-related work (suspension modification, fabricated suspension components) on a personal vehicle, as approved on case-by-case basis by the instructor. (We’ll provide the tools and equipment for your use, you provide financing for supplies.) Don’t have your own project to bring in? We’ll provide you with a chance to help out a classmate, friend, or instructor- there’s never a shortage of things to do!
- Work on a custom chassis fab project
- Create DIY shop fixtures
- Fabricate lift kits
- Mock-up and modify mounting locations for engine swaps
