Welcome to the forum,,,theres a bunch of Chevy II guys on here that will jump in I'm sure. I had a '66 Nova SS in the '70s, a stick car, and one problem I remember we had was with firewall flexing. You could stand there and watch while a buddy pushed the clutch in and see the master cylinder move back and forth with the pedal movement. I'm not sure what they do nowadays but back then we made a brace from the shock tower to the mastercylinder mount. I had a 6 point roll bar also which really stiffened things up, but I know I should've had frame connectors. We didn't bother with welding the body seams. Good luck with your car,,,keep us updated with your progress, especially with pictures.
