roll bar in a full frame car

[large]

I have a 1966 chevelle that I am going to install a 8 point S&W cage how should I mount it to floor plates or to the frame and if to the frame how would you do it I am concerned about being able to remove the body later it is a frame off rebuild mostly for the street ?

Any thoughts on what is best for a pick-up with a full frame and an 8 point cage that will be used mostly for the street but occasionaly for the drag strip?

I've been thinking of a few different options:
-cage welded to frame outriggers, body mounted with rubber
-frame bolted/sandwiched with outriggers and the body mounted with solid mounts
-cage welded to both the frame and body, and the body mounted with solid mounts
-body and cage welded solid to frame with custom floor pans
-cage welded to the body, body bolted to the frame

thanks

Also, anyone know what the NHRA rules state as far as roll cage mounting? I've read a few different things, and I'm uncertain what the final say is. Thanks again.

To clarify, if I were to weld the roll cage plates to the area where my factory body mounts bolts go through, will that abide by NHRA rules?
