That rearend housing looks very narrow. Looks like we will have the first "tubbed" L very sson.

Roll bar not the same as a roll cage. A cage has many more mounting points tying everything together. A cage will help with torque twisting a roll bar will not.

Everything else looks pretty good, but IMO it's no longer a lightning. (PS, don't turn this into a flame thread, it's just my opinion)
