The car will swallow 100g's and you'll be wondering where to get the rest.

I do love your car. Nice job. One of my biggest problems with the 69 imo looking at it from the side is the exhaust hanging low and the subframe hanging low. maybe a rocker extension may cover it up, but why not drop your suspension a couple inches without sacrificing travel or geometry and cure the issue at the same time. I have done bodydrops on trucks so modifying seats, exhaust, steering, pedals and dealing with headroom are all part of that. I am no expert but I am always thinking and trying to build things the way I envision them(maybe not for eveyone)

I would just make rockers and use oval exhaust where it hangs really low. As for why a person wouldn't want to cut the floor... well rebuilding a floor isn't exactly cheap. After putting putting more than a week into building a floor, then you have to have someone build you a set of custom headers. I can't say I've ever seen a car under 200K that has had that much modification. I'm not saying it can't be done, or hasn't been done but generally anyone considering this kind of modification is going to build the entire car to a high level of detail, using expensive parts.

And like others said, if you plan on buying the best parts for your suspension and engine, you will end up close to 100K deep into a roller with a really cool stance and custom floor.

It may swallow that much if I had someone else do it. I have a couple skills, so we will see what can be done. Thanks

I will do my best and see where it leads-I sure hope it does'nt cost that much. Thank you guys for taking the time here.

I can attest to what Matt is saying...I am channeling the body of my car and man everything has to be custom, headers, rad support, tank, seat mounts, inner fenders and the list goes on! Hopefully it will be worth it at the end but all the parts add up VERY quickly!
