Hey- more pipe don't hurt-even if it's redundant. The perimeter halo and windshield bars serve as a better gusset than anything else below them....and if it keeps the critics away in tech :-)

Hmmmmm..... I am pretty sure that you are going to get tagged on your lack of 1/8" thick plate gussets at the tube junctions..... cuz - you know - they are a lot stronger than what you have there ..... (yeah, right!)

FM  I though the same thing but I think that was covered in Chas. V's build---tube  now is accepted as gussets

See 3.B.1  page  27 --- "Gussets shall either be made of plate, tubing, or fabricated of sheet."
Miss LIBERTY,  changing T.K.I.  to noise, dust, rust, BLUE HATS & hopefully not scrap!!

"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing."   Helen Keller

We are going to explore the racing N words NITROUS & NITRO!
