ok help me figure this out...what direction to take.

ok so i have a 67 shortbox that im getting ready to build and im trying to figure out which direction to take.

direction1 drop the shaved body on top of a c5 corvette chassis(like frizzle fry) but with twin turbo's.

direction2 just make the factory chassis stronger by boxing and adding alot of x members and doing bags and adjustable shocks and sway bars etc to try and make the truck handle well. with an twin turbo ls1 and six speed.

the only part i dont like about the corvette chassis is that i wont be able to use the truck for a truck, but it will be better in all other areas of driving pleasure!

the only part i dont like about the stock chassis is i dont know how well it will handle with bags to get it as low as i like(and still keeping the bed floor) even with all of the mods to make it more rigid.

so lets here all of your opinions good or bad!!
thanks
chris
