By the way ---- That's exactly how I'd go about updating the suspension. You can buy all of these parts from Morrison or DSE and do without the chassis portion. Morrison folks are super helpful --- and it's really just a whole bunch of measuring - tacking in the mounts - landing the arms - triple checking and squaring --- before you weld 'em final.

I did my brother in laws Camaro with about half a dozen plumb bobs --- a couple squares -- some straight 1 by tubing - pulled about a zillion measurements off before I ever started and wrote them all down... and checked for square and went to cutting....

I added a crossmember for Rudy since his is pro street and he's running 18" wide tires... so I couldn't land the stuff anywhere near his existing frame rails (if you call the tin crap in a '69 Camaro a frame rail). Originally on his job we were leaving everything else alone -- so I even flipped the crossmember upside down and used it as a driveline loop... rather than cut up into his floor.... of course then we ended up gutting the car and doing all new upholstery --- so I could have welded it in correctly and attached his whole floor to it but OH WELL.
