a new build

I am an old, experienced drag racer. [my age is 77] I have lost count of the cars I have built. I am just about finished with a 75 Vette for a customer so, of course, being an old, experience racer who knows who to win, I must be planning the next project. My builds are often unique, which I like.
The quest: I want to build the barest bones, most stripped down, lightest door car possible. [while retaining a neat appearance] Help me brainstorm about which body fits this request. There may be some out there that I have not considered. It will have a relatively mild SBC and I want the performance in the 6.40's ET range. The last several I have done use methanol with a carburetor. I have built both ladder bar and four link.
