I have a problem with my 1979 Z28. I was looking underneath my camaro when i realized something i had overlooked for a while. My frame is bent and not tied. I had started repairing the rust and i made progress with the car but i got a long way to go. I need to spend an addtional $2,570.00 in parts not including my drivetrain which is an additional $10,000.00. Now i have a chance at getting a camaro with a great body (i.e. No Rust!!) for just $800.00. Mind you the guy selling this one is a friend and he owns a junk yard w/ at least nine camaros all 2nd generation. My dilemma is what to do, 1) part out my camaro (leaning towards this one) OR 2) finish my restoration. Mind you with the driveline costing $10,000.00 plus, you know i'm gonna have a lot of torque, and i'm afraid of bending my car in half or twsting the frame. Please let me know what you think and hopefully help me come to a decision on what to, you know i'll give you all first dibbs on parts too if i go that route.

Thanks,
George

 

Subframe connectors (a MUST for any Camaro that plans to see strip duty) and a 4-point (120 bucks) or 6-point (180 bucks) roll bar. The subframe connectors will do an excellent job of preventing twist, but if you're THAT worried (and you think you're going to run faster than a 12.00 in the 1/4) go with a 6-point roll bar with swing outs.
