As the car is still just a shell, is it worth adding the 1 piece seat platform over the tunnel for some extra strength across the car? Not thinking of replacing the whole platforms, just welding in the tunnel section.

I already have torque boxes and subframe connectors.

It will help with the rigidity of the seats, especially if you were going to run aftermarket or Falcon seats.

That was a Trans Am mod back in the late 60's.

Dynacon shells have it too.

It would have been too narrow as the convertibles had inner rockers. I am not sure if Dynacon make a full width one. It would be nice if they made one with the 69/70 Sportsroof seat risers as they are 1 1/2" lower than the hardtop seat risers from 64 1/2 through to 70.

You can get one piece platforms for coupes and fb now, but not lowered ones. I'll have a look at the sports roof platforms if they'll fit.

Was considering just welding on the tunnel section to my existing platforms if it will still add the same strength.

Welding just the center will work if the platforms have already been installed.
