Which brings me to my next point, if you just want a killer stance Doug's car, which you can search for by the title "Apollo 13" proves that you don't need to go wild trying to move the subframe up. For non competitive events our cars both do fine. I don't notice the suspension bottoming out, or really have any other related problems. Basically the subframe height has never been an issue. Exhaust clearance, however, is the problem. And you're going to have problems unless you raise the floor, and if you do, you better pick out your seats, pedals, and steering column to accommodate you because you're likely going to have a lack of headroom.

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)
