I like a lot of your choices. The shoulder belts coming through the rear bulk head wall are too low. On my car and I think you'll come to your own conclusion. After all the warnings I'm moving my shoulder strap anchor points to a spreader bar mounted to the roll bar. Like your set up I was warned that if I ever actually needed them, in a wreck, the lower than your shoulders anchor point will cause the harness to try to compress your in your seat, compressing your spine. You have dual roll bars , I wish I had that option. Not to rain on your parade but that is what I'm battling now on a 36 year-old car. I like your dual roll bars, engine, and trans choices, and the big disc brakes I'm really in envy of. What was the choice for the rear end? You will get the car to a livable point but these cars are never really done. I sold my 56 AC Bristle 43 years ago. Joe is still changing things and has second thoughts about all most all choices he's made.
