Yeah, I'm told that the car will be completely transformed. All the tube is done and only the gusseting to the chassis remains! It will definitely be rigid especially with the gusseting.

I'm loving the work they did with the rear strut towers. That whole area is reinforced steel plate yet it looks so clean. Can't wait to drive it!

Yes, incredible with the bends and all. I guess it would almost have to be reinforced to bring stronger torsional rigidity and accept the additional force of potential roll over.

Gussets around the roof, main hoop and A-pillars are done. Only cutoff switch and window net mount remains.
