Unrelated to the reason for the picture, but I would change the front (or rear) frame member mounting method. While it makes sense to do this from a structural standpoint, I'm not sure it makes sense from a maintenance standpoint. If you ever have to replace the front (or rear) member, you will have to remove a side to actually remove it. Hopefully, this never becomes an issue, but in the unfortunate event that it does...

Overall, I like the concept and design.

EDIT:
I missed the fact the bellypan is the same piece of material as the front and rear "members". You can disregard my comment in this application; however, it is still good to keep that in mind when designing.
