New chassis? New chassis! Hype?

RE: New chassis? New chassis! Hype?
And looking through the video, there's not even that many pain-points in total that they specifically show. A couple bolt holes for the front suspension guide rods, some missing attachment threads for small parts, the panhard rod attachment point being weak and misaligned and the front strut towers looking weird (but being functional).

All those things are minor compared to rust-repairing an existing chassis and especially for a race car would be points you'd want to stiffen up the chassis even on an original chassis. Not like they weren't bendey-noodley stock. And yes, that's the technical term.

Overall, it's a very niche product, but the value proposition is still there for that particular niche. At the moment I don't think they'll have a wider market for this anyways, original rusty shells are still plenty enough and cheap enough, as you'll likely anyways want to source one due to wanting to source crossmembers, suspension bits, some trim pieces and whatnot. If they start offering a basic set of those such that it's a full basis where you can chuck an axle, engine, transmission, ECU and seat and be ready to go, the market would widen significantly.
