Get a cross member with all the suspension on it. I have built c4 subframes and it was ok for me as I have done a lot of fab work. To get track width measure and adjust pivot points. You will have to notch the frame for steering rack and get the correct geometry to get the Akerman effect right. Corvette runs a deep 4.5 inch backset on the wheels so if you put 3.5 inch backset wheels it makes the tread width 2 inches wider then stock corvette. That also changes the Akerman. Otherwise do your home work.
