I do agree with travis on "show the specs" Im not a hard core racer in any respect, but I do like to know what my car can do and can not. Also if I ever sell a vehicle to someone thats hard core into it, I feel its best to have this info on the tables. I agree it is difficult figuring out what to do with the options you have out there and I have contacted almost everybody that does front clips and frames for the 69. Answer is they dont want to give out specs, dont have it, or don't respond at all. I even tried contacting the chassis guy who did scott whiblys camaro when the pictures were posted a couple of days ago just to ask what he did up front for the cars stance (no reply). I have found someone though just waiting for a confirmation. Most likely if he sees this thread he may respond to you directly.

wow thanks for all the replys , :thumbsup: . i guess at this time i should tell you guys what im doing with the car .....

my goal is to buy a full frame and build my car with all new metal . when finished id like that low stance and ridged feel / i happen to have friends that road race and id like to do so too . but id like to run a camaro because i really wanted one again anyway . and far as the frame goes when i would get one if i saw those exhaust ports in frame to look weak ...hey ill box it in . (i am a welder as well )

im sure there is other places to explore and im going to seek them as well . i did talk to jeff on the phone and like others said he seemed like a good guy and helpfull to boot .

thanks again guys and please still post :cheers:

I would add a cage to it that thing looks weak there is almost no trianglation to it

There are bars that attach to the firewall from the shock hoops and a bar that goes over the engine to tie the shock hoops to each other. How much more triangulation do you want? You can't put much more under the car and expect to be able to run exhaust and plumbing.

Look at the factory design, was there any triangulation from the factory? I counted at least five crossmembers on the chassis at the shop tonight. Come out and see one if you think it's not strong enough.

yeah i agree the stock bodied car has nothin and i think the frame will do good justice myself .
