Full frame is still a better option on a STREETCAR, chassis already becomes pretty rigid ( I think he's more after that) and can benfit from using conventional body mounts which somewhat do help a lot with NVH.
I have a full cage in my 69, being 6' plus tall with a bucket seat already as low and as far back as it can be, if not strapped properly with a harness (usually use just the lap portion of the harness during cruising) and sitting relaxed in a comfortable manner it appears that the head will impact against the roll cage upper bar weather from the front or the side during unexpected impact. Hope that never happens to anyone!
There is no win win situation with these old cars when it comes personal safety especially when driven around today's society where a there is a lot of cluelss drivers around you driving distracted on top of it all. Maybe I'm basing this on the area where I live a little.
