Brendan,
Looks like a neat project. Just a observation but I see that the frame has a partial box plate in the engine/trany area. I did a similar partial box on my 34 for the 1st build. Drove it that way for 15+ years. When I tore the coupe down for the rebuild I found the frame was cracked on the driver's side right at the front end of the box plate. The crack was on the top C channel nearly to the vertical channel. I planned to complete the boxing in the re-build even before I tore it down but had no idea the frame was cracked and potential fatal flaw. Don't know if this could happen to you but the potential is there and it stands to reason each end of that partial box on the frame is a stress point and a natural point for the frame to crack. Just a heads up.
