I think you're on the right track. The early A's were light, but you can watch the front end flex... I plan to fab up subframe connectors, torque boxes and inner fender braces similar to what US Car Tool sells for the later cars http://store.uscartool.com/70-75-a-body-chassis-stiffening-kit.html That is unless they need a Beta tester for early A kits about the time I get mine back on the road.
