Default 69 camaro /2007 Z06 what would it take?

I just bought a totaled 2007 Z06 corvette.The drivetrain is still it good shape. The car was rolled on drivers side and roof,so the body is shot.
Price was to good to pass up on.

I asked this on another site also. I was told the torque tube would have tobe shortened 3.5" or so and the front and rear would have to be narrowed.

If it has to be narrowed how much are we talking?

I do not have a problem with having to build a custom frame or having to do major mods to the underbody of a body shell. The chassis of the vette had been fully upgraded with Pfadt suspension parts and coilovers. So the way I am looking at things this would be a great base for a car.

Default Thanks

Thank you both.

My next step is to finish the car that is in my shop right now. Then disassembly the vette and start taking measerments and start on another project.
