Default Suggestions for building a ‘56 restomod?

I'm the proud owner of 56, 67, 2018 Zo6. Right now I'm turning the 56 into a resomod with a rolling C6 chassis. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I know I have to shorten it by 2". Do you know of anyone who makes a chassis?

Is there a reason you want “Dave” as the subject title or can I change it for you to something related to your OP?

I have Jim Meyer Racing components under my '61. It gives me disc brakes, rack-and-pinion steering, modern coilovers front and rear, a four-bar panhard rod rear.

If I had to do it again, I would have replaced the whole chassis for rigidity.
