@Frenchie- I took your advise in addition to that of Akash and added structural flanges pretty much all over the design. I really worked on the sheet-metal, and I think it's much more practical now. Also to note, I redid a lot of the lightening patterns.

The second version is much better than the first. The first design was lacking any serious strength because of the cut-out pattern. Nice first sheet metal chassis.

@O'Sancheski- 0.7" and thanks!
Expect an updated (photorealistic) rendering later today.
