For your back seat idea, try looking at a Jaguar coupe (XJ12?) from the 70's or 80's, as it may have a similar arrangement. Also, consider maybe a BMW 635 CSI's rear seat. They do exist in Copher's from time to time, and I think there is a Jag in the Clearwater location. I am not positive if it uses that idea, but it is worth a look. The luxury imports from the 70's through the 90's are about G body size and may have something close enough that you could make it work.

How do you plan on stiffening the body?

I added steel under the rear deck going across and im going to add some steele to the frame, kinda like boxing in the frame so it wont flex.
