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.

There are a lot of nice subframes out there but I would like my front and rear tied together with something more than sub frame connectors.

Still if there is something better out there I am willing listen.

Sorry for the thread hijack again.

i couldnt find the thread discussing the watts, but those pics would steer me away from that company. even if told to build it like that, i wouldnt put my name on it.

as far as sources, the ones given will get you started. you'll most likely have some floor mods, but it would be worth it.

We could build you a tube frame for camaro, We have done tons of Novas and are currently doing a tube frame 67 camaro. The tube frame will allow you to have any ride height and make the best use of space. Typically you gain about 3 inches of interior room over a Morrison Chassis.
