Unless I'm totally wrong, this car will be a pile of twisted rust after a few years of moderately hard driving.
IMHO if your gonna dump so much into a ride, do it RIGHT and ensure the body can handle it first!
The fact the engine was done at specialty engineering makes me want to believe there wasn't a dollar spared. He does too notch work at a top notch price. I want to believe the chassis was capable of a build without a total frame off restoration. I don't think he'd let it happen any other way.
