Once I had it home I started digging around to decide how I wanted to build it. My 69 Camaro has an Art Morrison IRS and I am a big fan of IRS.
I started looking at AJ’s Camaro and thinking if I could do something similar. I also came across Todd’s 59 Apache build but that chassis option was beyond my budget.
Then I came across the adaptors made by Dobbertin Performance. Some quick measurements showed that I could fit full width C5/6 cradles between the stock Cameo frame rails with some slight tweaks. I ordered them and started looking for a donor. I found a C5 roller on Craigslist and closed the deal for $1500. Only thing missing was the engine, all the rest was there.
