If were to go the full frame route, I'd probably have to go with an Art Morrison Max G.

If you are really interested, here is one that Kenny Davis Hot Rods has for sale that a customer is no longer going to use.

Here is a link to an album of one of Art Morrison's customers that put a Max G under a '69.

If you aren't interesting in fabbing all new floor etc.. Schwartz has a bolt in full frame option.

In addition to our MaxG style platform, we are in the process of attaching our front and rear subs together and will be offering a much more user-friendly first gen Camaro chassis. Should be out early 09.

These guys have a full frame for first gen Camaros as well as many others cars. If and when I do the suspension upgrade for my '69 Camaro I plan to use this full frame.

thisone has been discussed here before... the watts-link geometry is WRONG!! but the owner chimed in and posted that the chassis in the picture was for a customer who requested it be bolt in only.. with room for full length exhaust so im sure you can order one with correct geometry is you are at all interested in handling.....

i think the max-G is a safer bet though!! and it has been proven time and time again that it is cheaper in the long run just doing it right from the beginning

I was not even thinking of using the setup they have shown, currently I am thinking about using Corvette suspension. Sorry for the slight thread hijack.
