If you look a little more closely it appears there's not much more than
the stripped body "shell" and a rolling chassis with hydraulics. No
engine
or interior or other unnecessary parts..


Right, but it still shook the whole chassis and body darn near apart. Not
having the engine or other interior parts would put even less stress on
the body and suspension.

Hmmm...... Input energy would be the same either way using the same
hydraulic
system. Less parts would make the car bounce higher making the fall
further.
Only now it's held together with drywall screws and bailing wire (kinda like
a RAF Mosquito :-)) and not intended to stay together long. There's not even
a
floor pan, just a sheet metal shell.
BTW- Just kidding about the Mosi........(no, I'm not...yes, I am....no, I'm
not)
