Rigidity in the full frame, with nothing more then a roll bar / crossmember for cage is super rigid. Much stronger then a sub frame conected car, of coarse I am talking convertible again.
THAT!!! Is a really good point, a convertible is where a full frame would shine over an "average" sfc car. And as you pointed out, it gets a whole bunch better, really quick with a roll structure. Man, that convertible cross brace must be a real hulk, I knew they were beefy, I didn't think they were that much though. Great info. We are going to be doing a new frame for my wife's 62 vette here in a few weeks, and another customer car at the same time, so that big ole cross bracing will be a must, as we won't be using a cage on either. Stock frame has a big "x" in it already.

Great stuff, thanks!
