Very, Very much better!!! But, the entire frame was built out of 1 1/2" X 3" 11 gauge rectangular tubing complete with an 8 point roll bar, a cowl hoop, and front bars from the cowl hoop to the frame.... The existing floor of the Camaro was notched with the old floor welded to the new frame rails, then braces off the main hoop to the door latch area and braces from the cowl hoop to the door hinge area.... I used MII suspension with tubular A-Arms, coilovers, power rack and pinion, and 11" disc brakes and a 9" Ford rear end on coilovers with 9" disc brakes. Both ends of the car had anti-roll bars, the tubular ones with the adjustable end links.

It was not a cheap or an easy project.... I built this for a customer 5 or 6 years ago. He drives it all summer every year and has racked up better then 20,000 miles on the car since it was done. It handles like a slot car and will stop on a dime!!!!!
