Do you have any suggestions on where to weld in additional steel for safety?

Seat belts are a definite improvement!
lol
I wish I knew more about frame design and rigidity, but unfortunately I don't. If it was mine, depending on how paranoid I was, I would probably put plenty of 1/4" wall 1.5" tubing making trianges all over the ladder frame, including a minor roll bar. But that is just me not trusting the frame designs of the 1950s. That could also get really heavy really fast.
But that's not to say I don't appreciate the cars from the golden years; I love 'em!
Edit: I was just looking at the most recent pics... :drool: dang that car polished up nicely!
