This will be an intresting build up. With as much of the body being carbon fiber and alum as it is, where will you attach the rollbar to the chassis? Have to weld some steel plates to the alum?
However it's done, the end result will be

I will be welding aluminum angle to the frame and then bolting the steel plates to the aluminum.

yes, the roll cage may be bolted to the frame(floor in unibody cars), the rest of the installation is welded. the bolted down portion must use four bolts, there is a minimum size and all hardware must be grade8 or better.

George, how much power do you think the present driveline will hold? Do you have any plans to back-half the car to do away with the normal failures in the stock Zo6 driveline? If you back-half the thing, you might just as well snap one of the new GMPP 600+ c.i.d. motors in there, plus a Pro-stock style transmission to put you right into the top of the heap of the Top Sportsman class....

WJI plan on keeping the Irs

If that car is going to go fast enough to warrent a 25pt, you soon enough will have a glide and a solid axle.
I'd have a hard time cutting up that car, but hey it's only money right
