If you didnt want to climb over a traditional x in the door you could do a low bar welded to the rocker and a upper bar connected by some short vertivals tubes. Think mini nascar bar. Is there going to be a dash bar.
Not a bad job at all just some things to think about.
The surface area on the rear strut mounts is very small -this seemed to be the best solution -also that is right on top of the frame rail. I had thought about going the "NASCAR" style door bar route -it just would not fit.

here it is painted:
