My first impressions were Wow, nice craftsmanship.
But like John, upon looking closer you start questioning the logic behind the structure.
Very well made, but no stiffness.
No diagonal bracing at all.
It would have been much smarter & likely much lighter & less work if it was made from tube.
Once it's clothed in the body the chassis will not be visible.
So why use a structure which is more in tune with a 1930's box chassis than a full tube spaceframe.
(Oh, & I am a chassis designer, it's my living)

Tony.
