Notching stck front frame for tire clearance 69 Camaro.

[Gandalf]

VERY timely info guys. I was litterally coming on here to start asking about 69 Camaro subframes. I've already powdercoated my subframe and bought a pile of aftermarket suspension for it. The car is now being minitubbed and a 4-link going in, I want her sitting nice and low with some big feet. Seems I need to rethink the front to match the low and wide wheels/tire theme.

So I started thinking about selling everything I had bought already for the front and just getting a complete assembly (DSE / Morrison etc') but that's a crapload of cash ($5k-$6k) . Many great things about going that route (handling & rack being two of them) but given the goal is 90% street car, there's probably a LOT I can do with my stock frame for a LOT less money and still meet the same goals. So this thread is perfect. I've since noticed some imperfections in the subframe so it needs to be welded on and re-coated anyways. I'm going to take the subframe to my welder/suspension guy and ask what he thinks .

Thanks for the link Sean - good to know someone has been here before me and done same.

If it works out - I'll take some photos as we go .

Cheers guys!
