Congrats! I've just started on a 1973 SF. As to the foam in the stringers, there's really no way to tell without digging in. I pulled the sole up and dug in through the pour holes in each of them and they seemed super dry - till I got the VERY bottom. It's all about how deep you want to go.
Some folks seem to have good luck keeping original cockpit depth, most seem to raise it.
What kind of bracket are you going with?
