Ok I'm subscribed. 64 is a good starting point. All the style of the c2 with underwhelming drivetrain and brakes. Sounds like you are fixing that.
Are you building the chassis as a kit or is the shop?

I should have been more clear - STREET SHOP INC is building the chassis for me. They were nice enough to agree to send me photographs throughout the build process so that I could have complete documentation/history for my project.
Will post more as I receive additional pictures.

While Street Shop Inc. is busy assembling my C5/C6 chassis, I need to take the 1964 Corvette Roadster apart in order to get the body off the original frame. The Roadster is a driver with a small block 350 - so to me, it is a good candidate for the RestoMod.
At my pace, the new chassis will be ready before I am !!
Here are some pictures of the 64 -

Street Shop Inc continues building my C5/C6 chassis for my 1964 Roadster. They sent me the following updates for my records of the build. I better get moving on the Corvette to keep pace !!
Frame horn for bumper mounts being started
Start of rear rails. Machined and fit with bosses for upper a-arm mounts
Bungs welded in and rear rails machined for bumper mounts and tank support.
Rear cradle mounts are built and the rear rails are ready to be welded to the main front frame.
Mounts for the m50 are installed, various pics of the rear rails welded to the front frame
Gussets are formed and added to the rear rails and allowed to cool to return to its relaxed state
