If you are willing to modify your body behind the seats then I say go for it. The C5 suspension stuff are widely available and can be made to work with the old C3 frame.

there is another place to get a frame done also.Exline Custom Auto.I use C-4 suspension and your original frame for the conversion.Then you can bolt on the C-4 parts.There is a little cutting to do to the floor in the rear to get the shocks and differential to fit,the rest of your car will look stock.EMAIL exlinecustomauto@frontiernet.net(sorry web site not finished yet but do have email)Also there is another place doing the conversion,Paul Newman.His company is called Car Creations.www.carcreationsinc.com
