and on a street car, the 3 inch relocation would result in crappy handling.

and so there is the reason that after 5 or 6 brands/flavors of headers, all my street cars are back to manifolds...

Mutt that is the size you want. Longer lived than many purebreds. Less neurotic than many purebreds, all due to greater genetic diversity.

I believe that you can reach the speed nuts on your back in the trunk, above the wheel well. The vinyl top trim in my 70 Dart is in about the same place and there were even holes in the trunk hinge support that made getting to the most difficult ones easier. it ain't easy but surely better than...

The bolts in your pics with the big integral washers hold you exhaust brackets. Even if you reconfigured with a longer bolt they are not sufficient for a seat belt.

The raised 'oval' pieces that hold the metal parts in the right location?

I used industrial velcro as recommended by @4spdragtop. It worked perfectly. If you go to the thread "1968 Dodge Dart GT Sleeping Beauty?" I answered this question for him with step by step pictures. It is post#360 on the 15th page of that thread.
