1968 Camaro Convertible

This 1968 Camaro Convertible was previously restored, and updated with an LS1 and 4L60e transmission. However, nothing was done to the suspension, and the owner wants to feel safe and comfortable. A Schwartz Performance G-Machine Chassis was in order to suit his needs. Being a convertible, there is no upper structure. Convertibles have some extra bracing underneath to help this, but our chassis takes it much further. All that is in store for this beautiful '68 is some minor upgrades along with the G-Machine Chassis conversion.
