Part of our 1966 GTO's plan includes a killer suspension system and a beefed-up chassis to support it, so we disassembled the stock stuff,  popped the body off the frame, and went to town.   First, the GTO's skeleton was media blasted clean of all rust, scale, and old paint.   Next, we fabbed up some supports and TIG welded in some plate steel to box up the originally open frame rails for strength.    Then we began to test fit the Air Ride Technologies Street Challenge suspension system... more on this later, but it's the key to making this old Goat handle like a new 'Vette!

How important was it to beef up the frame? I am planning an airride in my '65 but was not planning on any frame mods. Also, did you have to relieve the area around the front air shock?
