Chevette, With the backbone, a plate below might be strong enough but being an old road racer chassis stiffness is important to me and if 2 lbs of tubing will guarantee the chassis will not twist I'm OK with that.
I looked at the Ironworks chassis and they use tubing under the torque tube which we didn't because we wanted to be able to take the drive train out the bottom.
