I'll disagree with that...My 71 Demon has had he OEM tubs cut out and steel chassis shop tubs installed.Not welded to the car at all and I have a roll bar that has the rear down braces end where the back seat is.Car has been this way since 1981 and no problems with the body at all,and it hooks great.
