Wanted to know if anyone has pics or knows how to join a rear midened chassis to the rest.
You midengined chassis is basically a subframe, I would bush it with resilliant bushes and bolt it to the body/rest of chassis using prefabbed
brackets. This will reduce vibration and make maintenance a lot easier.
Does your barchetta have a separate chassis? If it does, it would make it even simpler (less complicated!!)
I am basically thinking of using the rollcage as the main frame, being it one long tube going all the way to the A frame area. The engine and gearbox plus wishbones would be connected to as you say subframe. Not sur eweather it is worth building a front subframe as the car is very short.
Rollcage would be... sufficient... but a backbone and rollcage would be a lot stronger.
Where is your gas tank and radiator going to go?
How would you attach your front suspension without a subframe, or are you talking about having front frame and mid frame be one piece?
Are you going to go racing?

yep both front and mid one piece. Tank up front and rad behind like the audi rally from the 80s.
So, why would you need or even want a front subframe?
The fewer pieces you have, the fewer there are to break.
