^ Of course this is the response you get...

A purpose built tube chassis car is essential just a web of what we consider chassis braces on an oem car. All cars flex and bend in the same ways and you can fix that a little by connecting certain existing bolt holes together.

Same concept as roll cages. All cages have the same basic design with a few edits to fit the specific car. Would you think a car body is "tested for weakness" by a cage builder?

Maybe the fiesta analogy was a bit more than what most people want to hear, but the concept and facts about chassis reinforcement is legit.
