Very pretty, Bob.

Looks very good.

Of course you have substantially reduced the torsional rigidity, 
stiffness, and resistance to buckling of your two main longitudinal 
chassis structural frame elements.  I suppose a 1/4 inch plate box 
welded from the firewall and all around the drive shaft tunnel 
(including below the drive shaft) ought to help some.  Maybe a full roll 
cage, as well?  :-)

Since the door handles have been removed, perhaps the doors are welded 
shut on all previous openings, solving most of this torsional rigidity 
issue.
