Hello Silver69camaro!

I am really glad you liked my 63.It was a long project and finally done.If you saw it in my pages i am sorry its mostly finish .

I have been dreaming of 69 camaro since my friend had one and finally agreed a deal with gentleman from texas. So right now iam building it in my mind until i get it home!!

C5/C6 suspension stuff is top of my list , so i cant wait to see your frame! Glad i have not yet bought anything!!!!!

Hi kaptain kw, another 68 convertible owner here.

If you are only going to cruise, but granted on a twisty bit of road, I think save some bucks, keep the stock subframe and do the ATS tall spindle upgrade & an upgraded steering box. You can still use tubular control arms for that look factor.

You get bolt on C5 brakes using the spindles. Add nice springs, shockers & sway bar and voila!

With the convertible I think subframe connectors are so important for improving the handling. I used DSE weld ins and would again. Haven't driven it yet but the difference when just jacking it up was amazing.

cheers

Roger

do you think the sub frame connectors made that much of a difference? Like my earlier post says I went with a modified stock sub frame but opted not to spend the money on the SFCs as I thought they were not very useful....I did however go with a hotchkis x brace.....
