I will suggest that 1" torsion bars will be too much. I have a 200-ish pound Tiger 1, and using 1/4" spring steel torsion bars (See tank T-066 build photos) I get decent support, with some to spare. (7 rods per side, total of 14.)
I would suggest getting some 3/8" rod and trying that (it's much cheaper than 1") build a little test-frame of some sort and trial it before going whole-hog into building a lot of torsion rods and stuff that won't even deflect when you add weight.
