Bent or not!!! Chassis that is!
Just got really scared!
Took a few more piccies of the chassis construction tonight, when my better half said "the back looks bent!"
I went to check and all is straight as a die!
Must be an optical illusion 
Well I hope so!

Classic wide-angle lens distortion!

Why does the top rail look more bent than it's twin?
Cheers,

distortion by lens.
I would have thought measuing the diagonals with some non-strtcy string or wire would tell ya if it is or not.
usually viewing two parallel bars and looking for light in between them is a good way of testing.

It's because the camera isn't on chassis centerline. You can tell by the driveshaft tunnel tubes.
