Dallara builds the F1 chassis for HAAS now. If you have a large enough checkbook, and a wiz at design just go to Indianapolis and they will make you what ever you want.

We got to tour the factory in Indy where they make every single Indy car chassis. They would not allow us to take photos, and the real build area was walled of from our prying eyes. Two guys showed up in a large pickup, and the two of them walked out the door carrying a new chassis.

Amazing carbon fiber work. Cool tour.
