It is definitely not magic....
Why did you even feel the need to post that nonsense? To begin you probably know nothing of the specifics of his modification. Additionally you claim that he took away structural integrity and epoxied the sides on "for looks." The only structural piece that was removed was the outer wall of the chassis, most of the bracing is down the middle. When putting those side pieces back on using "epoxy" you are fusing the pieces just as much as it would be if it were still one piece. Just think of the procedure used to make the original +8 chassis, same idea... Before you say the +8 also had pieces bolted in to hold it I had seen them done with special loctite glue that physically fused the 2 pieces together and would not break or budge at the seam. Add the fact that Ty's chassis is now narrower while still maintaining the proper bracing and it's probably stiffer overall.
