Charger going to the welder, don't want to miss anytihng while it's there

[challenger70]

I finally got the call that room is opening up to bring my car in to the welder.  I am getting some small frame rot fixed, possible floor pan replacement, 4 speed hump, torque boxes and subframe connectors.  My plan is to do more of a pro-touring route, however I am keeping it stock style suspension and am torn about doing a cage.  What else should I do?  Is the rear leaf spring mount reinforcement a good idea? I am debating about the inner fender braces from XV.  My goal is the XV level 1 suspension and a 4 wheel disk brake kit from Baer or wilwood and 18's.  What else am I missing, while it is there?

Subframe connectors and torque boxes perhaps?

the inner fender kit from XV is a kick ass piece...     trim to fit but I did mine in about 6 hours.       

I also am doing almost the exact same thing you are...       stock suspsnsion but pro-touring style...       I have done

subframe connectors,
torque boxes,
reinforce the K member,
box lower control arms,
leaf spring mounting plates (hemi style),
rear leaf spring plates (hemi style),
XV lower radiator support,
XV inner fender support kit.

I think a cage is overkill and is too intrusive for a street car...    so I am not doing that. I am however going to do a little secret trick to add regidity though...    i'll see how it works and if it is worth it i'll let ya'll know about it.

Cool.  I am doing the subframe connectors and torque boxes for sure I am hesitant to do the inner fender braces because I have descent paint on them now.  But if it adds a lot I can live with screwing the paint up.  I will do the lower control arms when I rebuild the suspension and the K-member too, if i ever remove it from the car.  I am more concerned with parts that can't be removed and brought to a welder to do.  I am torn with the lower radiator support as I hate the way it looks from the front sticking out under the bodywork.  Your car is going to be solid as a rock   I am taking it to a pretty reputable place, High Speed Welding in Westmont, IL but just want to make sure I don't miss anything obvious.  I am sure the owner of the place will have some good ideas too.
