Mentalist....whatever you are smoking...I want some too!
How much does that climbing frame way?
Do You mean weigh? 
The answer is I am not sure.
I can roll it over by myself, but it is just beyond lifting. It does seem light for it's size.
If you have a decent set of scales, you are welcome to come round and try it out.
Will your feet poke out under the nose?
Or will there be a body "tub"?
oops.....my mind was thinking "weigh" but my spaktarded fingers are not behaving them selves..
Been typing damn css style sheets all morning and im starting to loose the plot!
Would really be fascinated to know its mass

Thats a stunning bit of metalwork!! Shame to make it into a car really. Can't you just hang it on your lounge wall?
All mig'd?
And what did you use to cut all the metal work accuartly? (sp)

The cars looking great!
In the past you've mentioned the idea that the suspension would 'shed' in a prang, if that were to happen would the FRP tub then be the
only thing left between your feet and the road?
Given the raised nose type of design the thought of say running into a kerb at speed doesn't really bear thinking about.
I'd suggest a couple of bent small roll bar type tubes running from the seat support frame to somewhere near the front of the frame.
After all this is not a good look.
On tube notchers: They're great if you know exactly what your going to cut, if you're fitting a tube they can eat up more time than
they're worth particularly with small diameter tube.
^ yep, that was my thoughts too actually. i thought i was probably missing something though.
lol, i wish i'd thought to profile my tubes that way... i did mine with a hacksaw and half round file
that was only for suspension wishbones though not a whole chassis.
