In no particular order:
There are better rust conversion products available than POR-15. Rust Mort is one. Light colors for the engine room and trunks make for better vision & inspection. Doublers for a cage should (IMO) wrap down around to the side of the longs.....bout 3/16 thick also. The bar you've put in twixt the towers is usless unless you plan to remove the trunk sheet metal...not a good idea in a sreet car. If you feel the need to weld, all the seams from the fire wall back to the trans mount cry out for it.....same up front. All that caulking does is hide rust/seam failures. The suspension ears can use this treatment also.....but you seem to have other problems in that area. Straight & 90 deg air powered die grinders are a boon to body work of all kinds. There are a multitude of attachments from carbide rotory cutters to scotchbrite style discs for all kinds of metal prep.....and everything in between. I'll do some pix if you wanna see how they work. I have a wire wheel or 2......somewhere...good for removing seam sealer. A pic Attached thumbnail(s)
