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!!)
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

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?

So, why would you need or even want a front subframe?
The fewer pieces you have, the fewer there are to break.
