Default 1969 camaro frame

Hello all. I was wondering if anyone has ever used a schwartz performance complete roller frame and if so was you satisfied with the performance. My rebuild was cut up for drag racing and I want to go back with an updated frame due to the factory frame being tossed in the transformation to racer. Any help would be appreciated.

yes it was tubbed and I want to go back to almost original except for DSEmini-tubs. they cut the rear frame rails out in the change and that was the reason I wanted to go with a full chassis. The chassis I inquired about is 3800 in roller form. No brakes or rear-end. Thanks for info.

I have my self looked in to this and I have to say its gonna be alot of money that ur gonna be putting in to this project if u wanna go from tubbed to stock. Ur gonna have to get all nrew flooring, frames rails, struts, shock towers, and find someone to put in the wrench time on this. How about sell the car and try and buy one ready to go?

It does mean something, but not as much as you'd think, seeing these codes thrown around like they're a lotto number.

Check out this link and see for yourself: http://www.camaros.org/diffs69.shtml

After you've read that....then you can wonder whether or not your cowl is actually originally part of your car. Seriously, there are many things to consider decide if you've got something really "special".

You're welcome. As I'm still in the process of looking for a 69', I refer to that link I posted for you, all the time. It's amazing what's being sold as a 69' SS for instance, and it isn't really an SS at all. Same with RS, and Z28s.
