At the risk of prolonging this filibuster, you do not understand what neutral axis means. It's not roll center or roll axis. That's vehicle dynamics.
It's a term in engineering. As an example, imagine a one-inch bar. Support the ends and put a weight in the middle. As the bar is loaded, the upper fibers are in compression, the lower fibers are in tension. If you think about it you will understand that there must be a point where the fibers stop being in compression and start being in tension. That's the neutral axis. Tension = compression = 0 at that point.
When you start studying how material supports a load, you soon figure out that the farther the material is from the neutral axis, the more force it exerts "trying" to keep the piece in its original shape, resisting the load. At the neutral axis, the material isn't doing anything to resist the load.
Ever wonder why an I-beam is so strong for its weight? That's because most of the non-working material at the neutral axis isn't there. An I-beam puts most of the material as far as possible from the neutral axis, meaning that most of the material is working hard to resist the load. The web itself only has to be strong enough to resist crushing.

I enjoy talking with other that have a engineering background and thank you for the explanation of the "I" beam because that is in fact the exact scenario I am duplicating. The 2x4 rails being the top and bottom of the "I" and the center bracing of the chassis which is also connected to the steel interior via 1/2 bolt. The fiberglass floor board is sandwiched between the 2 pieces of steel. The steel cage that we have built and put into place also is welded to the steel thus creating a close resemblance to a Unibody.
Some mopar fans compare everything to the 60-70 steel cars and I will never argue that my car is as safe or even close! I will say that custom33 has more support and reinforcement then the majority of street rod companies.

I will try and post pictures of the chassis soon. The chassis has bracing that comes off the frame and follows the outside edge of the steel floors. The outside edge of the floor pans is where the 12 1/2bolts tie it all in. Weld bungs have been put into the frame and steel bracing.

If you bring she 300 this year I will stop by and say hi!

Been suffering with the 300 this year John. If I bring it and you stop by, I might just give it to you!
Cool!
