So do you have a used chassis or you building one? normally the chassis has other mounting points other than the 4 at the rockers. Mine has welded mounts at the A pillar and rear door area to the cage. I suppose they also could be fabbed to unbolt,
it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead

I have 6 mounting points on my P-Body... 1 at the front of the sill and 1 at the back of the sill on each side... the 2 at the back of the car... they all bolt on... I got done building a chassis for a Duster last year. I did the same mounting

It's jimmy's old chassis. Has already had a dart body on it. See if you can get to look at the old body or get pictures of how it was mounted on your chassis No sense in reinventing what has already been done Good luck, let us know what you do

Putting the tube chassis in to the car body is not a easy task, most of the time the cage is built wider than the rocker panels so you have to wedge it on [spread the bottom of the car } to drop it on, Then before you do any welding, put the doors on to make sure they close and fit properly. Hope you have a 2 post car lift, some friends with crow bars. Ask me how I know that.
