Default Full-Frame Chassis for Unibody Cars

I'm trying to get an idea of how many of you would be interested in a full frame for unibody cars. Here's the chassis:


This chassis has been extremely sucessful with builders like Bobby Alloway, Foose, etc. You can get C5 or our in-house front suspension, and a multitude of rear setups (air, triangulated 4-bar, parallel 4-bar, 4-link, etc). This is a very rigid chassis both in bending and in torsion. 1.0+g in cornering? No problem. YOU pick the ride height. YOU choose the suspension configuration.

But for us Camaro guys, we have to modify the car. After hours and hours, I've found there is no feasable way to create a bolt-on chassis for the Camaro like we did for the '55-'57 Chev and the C1 Vette. Currently, builders have to remove the floor and most of the trunk. But, if there is enough interest, we can solve that problem to make installing this chassis simple enough for most gearheads.

So guys, tell me. How much work would you be willing to do to install a new chassis?
