Are you planning to do stripes? If so DO NOT install one in the center until the car is painted and put together because I can about 99% guarantee that what you think is the center won't be! I've seen it dozens of times! Make your middle bracket extra wide so that your fastener will hit it when you install them later after the painted body is on. If you're anything like me if I had to look at a screw that didn't line up with the center of the stripes every time I get in the car it would drive me CRAZY!!!
