Everyone here is forgetting that Corvettes have a steel inner layer frame commonly known as a bird cage. This is part of the reason the Corvettes aren't as light as people think they are.

I also think a rust free steel cab would suite you better. I saw a $5000 price tag on a street fiberglass cab and thought that was kind of crazy. Maybe if you are trying to cut weight for a street/strip truck.
