You may also want to look into seat belts when you do the floor.

I believe pre-war Packards had dealers select hardwood shims between the seat tracks and floor (my 41 had them) to adjust the seat height to the customer. Might be a good idea for you, just remember that big wheel to fit under.

I'd urge you to really think about the drop. Besides the appearance, it can alter the suspension geometry. Likewise on the wheel swap.
