The chassis of Bluebird BE3 is hand crafted in high strength corrosion resistant steel.  Through careful design the main chassis assembly weighs in at an incredibly light 52Kg.  Nelson is particularly proud of this achievement because the BE3 chassis is designed to handle many times the horsepower of the BE1 chassis, is torsionally stiffer, yet it weighs roughly the same.
