67 rag to is not a real "strong" car. even compaired to the 67 hard top it is very loose. If your planning on building a pro touring type car out of one I would think about one of those complete add-in frame assemblies.I have about325 hpin mine and I have thought about suspension upgrade but I told the body is the biggest limiting factor not the 40 year old designsuspension. There is a reason they never offered the Z28 convertible.

I agree if you do get it to hook it's gonna twist like a pretzel. It sucks to cause roll cages in a cruiser convertable kind of looks dumb. But if it were hard top i would say cage it that would strengthen alot. If you wouldn't mind the conv with a roll cage id say do that beleive me it stiffens them alot
