Wow, pretty!

I would really recommend extending the outer plates that join your pivot points all the way out to the front and back plates if you can. I'd be worried about cantilevering those huge assemblies off the side of a pair of bearings that are only < 1" apart! Doing so would also let you support your side bumpers for more of their length (the 2014 rules required support every 8").
