Default very new to this: 69 camaro with 22" x10 wheels in the back

I want to know if it has been been done and if so, what does it take? half back kits, or other avenues?

I would get a plasma cutter and a BFH, and start there

I have never put 22's under a Camaro, but just some things to think about.

Are you running bags? If so, with the air out and buy the time you get a decent tire on the rim, you will be up in the rear package tray.

I'd like to do the same thing with chassisworks half back with coilovers (http://www.cachassisworks.com/cac_featured.html), do you think it's a good way to go about it , or is there a better way? I don't really want to go with bags.

The problem with the chassisworks back half you would have to cut the whole back of you car out (i.e. floorpans,inner and outer wheel houses)
You more than likely not be able run a back seat and you would have to install a roll cage.

Is that what you are wanting????

I want this car for a street car, but at the same time, I want really good handling which is why I'm considering going with coilovers in the back rather than airbags.
This is the situation: I've picked up a Dynacorn hardtop body (http://www.goldenleafautomotive.com/) and am planning to pick up a Martz chassis sub-frame (http://www.martzchassis.net/page1.htm). My plans are 20" x 8.5" in the front and 22" x 10" in the back.
I have a pretty good fabricator here who can do the work, but I just need some advice on what would work best in the back to tuck those wheels in properly and maintain the best handling and height possible. I'm not too concerned either way if the rear seat stays or has to go.
Thanks for any ideas you might have...

You aren't going to get a good handling car with a set of 22" wheels on it.
Handling is also not about putting coil over shocks on all 4 corners. You need to really define what you want from the car, in order of priority:
Looks? Handling? Reliable?
