About Us — Legacy Chassis
Our Mission
At Legacy Chassis, we are dedicated to building high-performance, championship-winning race cars that push the limits of speed, precision, and reliability. Our mission is to empower drivers to achieve greatness on the track with race-ready chassis designed and crafted with passion, experience, and meticulous attention to detail.
Who We Are
Legacy Chassis is more than just a brand — it’s a legacy of racing excellence, craftsmanship, and a relentless drive for perfection. Our founder, Chad Matthias, is a multi-track champion at Petaluma Speedway and a master fabricator with a deep-rooted passion for motorsports. As the designer, owner, and fabricator, Chad brings decades of on-track experience and technical expertise to every chassis we build.
Our facility operates under Legado Nove LLC, a name that embodies our commitment to innovation, quality, and performance. We specialize in custom race car chassis, offering fully equipped, ready-to-race packages as well as tailored builds to meet the unique needs of each driver.
Honoring Our Roots
The Legacy Chassis story wouldn’t be complete without acknowledging the influence of Todd Damron. His work and vision laid the foundation for what we continue to build today. By taking the knowledge, techniques, and lessons learned from Todd, Chad Matthias has created a new standard of excellence with Legacy Chassis. Todd’s legacy lives on in every chassis we produce, and we’re proud to carry his influence forward.
What Sets Us Apart
Championship-Proven Designs — Our chassis aren’t just theoretical blueprints. They’re battle-tested, multi-race-winning machines that have claimed championships, including victories at the iconic Petaluma Speedway.
Custom Builds — No two drivers are the same, so we work closely with each customer to customize every detail, from cockpit geometry, interior finish, powder coating, and body color.
Built by a Racer, for Racers — Chad Matthias isn’t just the owner; he’s a driver, competitor, and winner. His hands-on experience as a racer fuels every design decision and build refinement.
Unmatched Attention to Detail — Every Legacy Chassis is built with precision craftsmanship. We log critical details for each customer’s build, including chassis powder color, body and interior finishes, engine specs, exhaust styles, rear-end preferences, driveline length, and more.
