Interesting.....I want something like that for driving games.
I had envisioned a steel tubing structure reminiscent of
a 60's formula car rather than a 90's luxury car.
But the most interesting part is the comparison between
aluminum vs steel construction.

They seem to think that fabrication of a basic steel frame
is 10x the labor of the "tinker toy". And they also seem
to think there's a downside to all the tools needed for
steel. I think that guy built one fiercely expensive chair.
Different strokes for different folks I guess.
