(same thing as in your roof corner, those are gussets... in case you dont know) Will you be gusseting the A pillar to the half lateral? That REALLY helps stiffen the chassis up, and it would be a really nice compliment to the front strut tower tubes.

Yeah, gusseting the door bars would be a good idea. The door area is the weakest point of the car and the place where other cars most often hit. I'd really not prefer having someone's front frame rails embedded into my left hip. Smile

The half laterals are very skillfully bent as there's barely a millimeter between it and the A-pillar and the bar is welded directly to the pillar from multiple locations. A very narrow strip of sheet could fit between the two but not really a proper gusset plate.
