SPEC chassis for 2nd Gen F-Body

[@mitchellh6885]

Now this is an upgrade that I would invest in for my 70 Camaro, this is next level stuff

[@stevescoville8465]

This chassis should never be painted, what a work of art. Shoot it clear. Jeez, so beautiful!

[@CarlosN-pq9zr]

Nice, hope to use my first few checks from my retirement to finally finish my '80 Camaro I've been hanging on to since 1983. This looks like the perfect base for it. Thank you guys.

[@transam4555]

Wow you guys really know what you're doing I love the fact that you guys could put this out into the market, I feel it's going to be big as second gens are getting more and more popular by the day. Awesome job brothers

[@leea4624]

My ‘71 needs this!!! Gorgeous

[@fogtown3027]

Love the story on the TA.. My first car was a TA 455 cameo white with blue interior🤘

[@RoadsterShop]

Haha - really? That's amazing.

[@AndrewPipitone-y9b]

From what is see this is the way to go. These guys covered everything to make the 2 gen jump in the 21 century and keep with todays cars on the road. This will bring new life for the Beutifull old cars. I so want one having two 1970 -71 Formula Firebirds

[@tflnorthamerica4585]

Cant wait to get mine! Got one on order.Also, the professionalism/service of this company is spectacular.

[@troygaskins2082]

I hope fellow car enthusiast can appreciate what these guys have accomplished

[@johndowling6131]

Wish this had been available when I built my 72 Camaro... (finished in 2003) Would have done my best to scrape the funding together. However to go back and start over is not feasable... not does it make sense at this stage in life for me. Maybe, whoever buys it, will have the budget and the drive to take it to this next level of performance. Would gladly send pic, but youtube doesn't support such a response. Awesome job GUYS!!!

[@fbodyx2gbodyx151]

I would love to put this chassis under both my 1971 Camaro and 1980 firebird. Great job. Looks amazing.

[@patrickfay7111]

I've had my '78 Z since 1985. I was in high school. For so. many. years. it was the least-respected Camaro ever. So great to see such love for these beautiful cars. Your new chassis is now on my bucket list. Well played.

[@CFII1974]

This is perfect for the 79 im working on. Great job

[@rocketscience777999]

Very impressive that they have a full Solidworks CAD file of the entire car. Its a lot more worrk up front, but a huge savings down the road when you go to assemble the car and everthing fits as planned.

[@davebarron5939]

Massive upgrades, I was a little surprised that with all this, you didn't look into using a Corvette, aftermarket, etc. rear I.R.S set up. Great stuff.

[@mikalnaylor]

Talk with them, they can put in whatever you want for a rear end. :)

[@jakefriesenjake]

​@@mikalnaylorI'm sure they can, but I doubt they have the calculations or the program/setup for it. Would probably be custom, so expect to pay $$$ more than the already $$$$$$. They can do it tho.

[@rodrickwilliams7868]

Now This a Fascinating and Interesting investment...

[@CROIXsather]

Amazing design and work you put into this. And the CAD video showing how it bolts in a deal closer.

I can dream about putting that chassis on my 80 trans am, it sure looks nice. Great video.

Wish i could afford this for my 1970 camaro...

[@louisthomas1829]

Love the way you did the suspension and everything the frame is outstanding one thing you didn’t mention did you consider the wider wheel tubs in the rear so you put real tires back there. I was just checking on that and hopefully you do you had an integrated him thank you .

[@trasher2848]

Beautiful stuff!

[@eliasmaximus4857]

Wow, I need to save up! If you guys want to sponsor my firebird and have this installed, let me know!! lol

[@TheWolfMatt]

This is exactly what these old F-Bodies have been needing. The unibody structure and A-frame front end doesn't make for a very solid chassis, especially if you want to build a 600+ hp pro touring sports car from a 2nd Gen Firebird/Camaro line. Looks like I have some saving to do for the system I want on my 78 Firebird Formula. Looking forward to this one.

[@elainajack]

This is not a second generation Camaro!!! Great work and love the car!

[@keithbarnett9449]

Do you have one for 1971 chevy Nova? Looks great!!

[@loukastsoulakos5497]

You guys have to make Independent rear suspension. That would be a game changer

SPEC is designed to be an easier bolt in product and so IRS is not accomodated in this chassis lineup. In FAST TRACK however we do offer IRS as an upgrade. roadstershop.com/product/full-chassis/1970-81-camaro-chassis/

Can you possibly do a install video on this set up

[@ezequielgarcia8565]

I have a 1979 Camaro Rs that I placed a z28 body kit on it. After halfway work from shops spending 3-4K on the body and still not being satisfied. Along with other work that barely puts a dent in the project. If you’re interested in taking her in to fit up your stuff Feel free to do so ((:

[@RoadsterShop]

Well we already built the chassis around the '70 T/A in the video, but we would be happy to finish off the car. If you're interested in doing a full build let us know.

[@maninhos95]

Top demais queria muito trabalhar em uma empresa como essa ✌🏽✌🏽🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@wendellbrownbrown5968]

So am I reading this right? You guys are putting a frame into a uni- bodied car? Or are you putting a better frame into an already framed car

[@illililililillli]

Frame into a unibody car

[@RoadsterShop]

We've designed the chassis to work with the factory sub rails.

[@JohnDoesItAll]

Genius!!!!!!!!

[@keything8487]

BAD ASS !!!

[@shelbyrockstar]

🤔 I'm looking at this because my rear subframe is rusted out. So was curious about just replacing the entire chassis. But I guess this wouldn't work without serious fab. My rails are spongey and torque boxs gone.

[@roydittler1052]

What width tire can you fit without mini tub?

[@victordahn2150]

why would you not put adjustment holes on the lower control arm to get more antisquat?

[@speedmetal7198]

You mentioned chassis had LS & LT motor mounts. But what about Firebirds running factory Pontiac power?

[@seanjohnson386]

Well, gang. It's been 3 years. So,.....where's your '70 Trans Am build????? Being a 2nd gen Trans Am owner myself, I'm anxious to see what you've built.

[@pontiacexcitement4evrponti995]

Why no option to run a true PONTIAC motor under a Firebird. They too can be built to go fast (or faster), than a Chevy motor. Look at what "Big Chief" has proven. Wide port Edelbrocks, Tiger, Ram Air V tunnel ports can flow alot of air, not to mention the billet heads. All I'm asking is it should be an option, even at an extra cost. Aftermarket PONTIAC blocks,forged cranks and better breathing heads have made the PONTIAC V8 a horsepower and torque monster. If u don't want to do that, build a frame for a 4-wheel electric motor 2nd gen F-body so a Firebird Trans Am could live into the 22nd century. Hopefully before the government forces everyone to buy an electric powered vehicle. Thank you for building an "Awesome" frame. P.S. Someone has already built a 1965 or 66 Electric Ford Mustang. Don't u think an 1970 and a half or 1971 PONTIAC TRANS AM more powerful all electric powered car should pull up in the other lane?

[@RoadsterShop]

We can certainly build mounts as a custom option on these. We just don't get enough demand for the Pontiac powerplants to make them a production item.

[@ProsperousHobo]

I love this, is it available?

[@RoadsterShop]

[@Roboticgladiator]

What does this do to the ground clearance? Also, does it cause the body to sit higher? Can it accommodate a Butler Pontiac engine?

[@pontiac7713]

I have a 72 grand prix would that fit or would u need to make a whole new frame for it???

Beautiful chassis. Do you plan to offer Pontiac motor mounts for this product? That's virtually the only thing that would make me consider the Schwartz full frame over this.

I'm loosing my mind, will you trade my C10 for one of these chassis done up? I am pulling the most beat 79 z28 out of a field and putting this chassis under it!

[@cl9170]

You have so many options for the Camaro / Firebird cars , why do you not build a SPEC series chassis for the 68-72 Novas? Only TRAK series? Any reason for that?

[@RoadsterShop]

The goal of the SPEC series is to simplify installation typically without removing the factory floor. Doing so requires a larger amount of engineering than the Fast Track lineup in order to make that easier install work with the factory floors. Some vehicles it's just not possible to do this - others we haven't had the opportunity to invest the time required to create the SPEC chassis - and others yet are just not great candidates for the SPEC lineup.

[@jeffv2074]

its PERFECTION! to bad my project car is a 1978 original turbo regal with Ttops, Schwartz performance has what i want but waaaay to expensive, to the point, I can teach myself to weld and build the frame myself for 20k plus. i can do it on Autodesk fusion 360 and 3D print it in 1/10 scale or 190mm and make whatever tweaks needed before building full scale. this hobby has gotten to expensive, ill build my own.

[@RoadsterShop]

For about $11k - you get a laser cut and welded chassis, Fox suspension tuned by RS, mounts for whatever motor you want, and all modern suspension geometry that bolts under your car. Let us know if you don't end up DIY'ing it - we'd love to help you out!

[@entropicdoom8018]

What tire widths on front and back can do fit without cutting? I am assuming if you put in a 325 rear you will loose the back seats?

[@speedmetal7198]

I am running a P325 in back of my '81 WS6 TA without tubs, & using factory 7.5" x 15" wheels. This was achieved with just a pair of billet, hub-centric spacers. Mine were 13/16", but I'm pretty sure 11/16ths would work a hair better & keep the tires from contacting wheelhouse, or shock tubes/leafsprings.
