Quite a spec Dave although the 296 cam may take a bit of hanging on to!
Will watch with interest.

Only thing I would be careful with is the brace bars, even welded in the popular position they do very little in an accident and could end up with issues in that scenario so I would look into carefully designing the brace bars to put similar load on whats left of the inner wings as the original front would have done, or possibly keep the inner wings as that will also help keep the engine bay cleaner avoiding all the muck from the wheels to be kicked up into the bay.
But other than that it sounds like a billiant project and will be an amazing car when done ! good luck!

Gonna be a beast Dave!
Are you going to round the door bottoms off with the mk1 hinge conversion? If your going for the full look I'd be tempted to change the gutter holes and fit the drain strip things.
Also what paint type are you gonna use, are you doing the colour yourself or getting it done in a booth?
Gonna be ace, gonna have to take me for a spin round the block with the 7 port lol
