New frame or modify old

[madmax]

Hi,

I am new around here. I just made a post in the Engine section.

First off, please forgive my stupidity.

I have a '69 Camaro I will soon be turning into a PT car. The question is, should I modify my original frame or just buy a new one. The problem here is I can't do body work or weld. I can do most of the mechanics thoughout the car.

I want to make a low 11 second car at the strip, but it will spend 98% of its time on the road as a weekend cruiser. How crazy do I need to get with the frame or suspension? I have been looking at DS&E's kits... but i cant do the custom fab. I can put the kit togher, but can't do any of the mods that require custom fab.

What kind of suspension should I be looking for, and would it be cheaper for me to just buy a new complete frame instead of paying labor for modifying the existing?

Thanks a lot for your time,
Max
