Body windshield frame will be removable. I want access to everything!

You might want to rethink that, the windshield frame adds structural integrity to the chassis and should add some rollover protection

 I was referring to the farm. Plus I already have a role cage

Have you tried to fit the decklid with those studs on?    Metal studs are not the norm, honestly I use metal studs everyday at work and I cannot see how they can be used.  Usually 1/2" square tubing is used around all the decklids.  And the windshield support frame needs to be solid as possible with little to no flex in the frame.  I use round tubing 1.5" around that support and it has to be tied into the rockers far back along the door jamb as possible

Windshield frame. Almost every panel will be removable on my car. I also have a roll bar behind the seats so this isent a "structural " part.

Removable Rockers, I love to bounce around and do various things on the build, as to not get burnt out .plus I used to be this big fine art guy (fine art major)   So much like how I would  paint. I would work on various area's of a drawing/painting and watch it all come together. Just have to make sure u work with balence and quality!

What are you using metal studs for???
I liked them because they were light weight material, that added  regedity and, shape that I was going for. But I'm always open to suggestion, especially for u Rod  ::beers
