Full Framed 4th Gen Fbody

Full Framed 4th Gen Fbody
I've pondered much on this subject.
Does anyone run a full frame on their car.
Has anyone tried running a setup like the NASCAR IROC cars?
In building an all out race car out of an Fbody, would basing your car around a solid frame, be worth the trouble.
Would the advantages of a full frame outweigh the work of conversion. (Realizing that you would have to do a body drop, and channel the unibody for the frame to maintain ground clearance)
Again, just wondering if anyone has any input.

I don't see that there would be much advantage to
the full frame, the platform is reasonably stiff. I
have had full frame cars and the frame itself is not;
I could lift one corner of the A-body frame several
inches and see the rest not move, with it resting on
four pedestals.
A good cage is more where it's at I believe. Space
frame as it were. Triangulation makes stiffness way
better than a couple of rails along the bottom will.
