Looks great! Few questions though. How are you bending the lexan? I'm always curious about the different ways people manipulate the stuff. Also, is there any reason you made the 2nd level of the belly pan out of aluminum instead of lexan? That seems like a perfect application for it.

As far as using the lexan for sideplates, I think you'd do well to add some standoffs in between your side plates. They'd support and strengthen the plates much more than the zipties, and in both directions as well.

Also, when relying on bends in sheet metal or lexan or paper, the length and bend angle of the flange is important. In the middle of the top bend in the plate closest to the viewer, your flange seems to be flexing upwards such that the bend angle is greater than 90 degrees. This will not impart as much rigidity to the plate as a 90 degree bend, so don't expect it to.
