Won't rust? No but'll it go white and then flake.

It's very nice, very bling, but totally hidden and utterly pointless imho.

How much lighter would a steel chassis have been for same strength?

Nice till you prang it. Try repairing that.

FFS, that is so using the wrong material in the wrong application

I wonder if Aluminium would viable for a locost chassis or has that been discussed before.

Most cobras only get pushed out of the garage to be polished and to have the engine fired up for the owners mates, so it'll be fine.

The aluminium bodies are made by the factory that made Mig fighters so there's a chance it's been properly engineered if they are making them.

That looks like an I or C section ladder chassis.
4500ftlbs/degree? not in that case, 400 maybe......
