So, after waiting a few weeks I finally got my shipment from S&W race cars.
Steel tube formed rear frame rails, new front subframe tie in bars, new rear down bars so I can run a back seat, and some extra tube for a diagonal on the main hoop and whatever else I may need.

Did a bunch of measuring today too. Think I figured out a game plan. Believe it or not the frame rails before and after the control arms on a c5 and a first gen are actually within a half inch of eachother.
Tomorrow I'll most likely get the front clip cut off and finish stripping the vette chassis. Once I get them side by side I'll be able to finalize some things.
This should be a huge improvement over the 40 year old technology that was there:
