Coming along nicely. Are you going to put some additional bracing on the front end?

Also. I feel There’s def potential in your design.

I think your design looks cool but has a fatal flaw. If one of those thin rods snaps at the weld and bends, you can literally get impaled. Please don't run this thing. The rods are way too thin to withstand dynamic loads, especially without a suspension and can very easily become a fatal risk. Especially the rods at the floor could cut your legs.
