That looks sick, but I would add a couple of tubes coming down from the top to the front area so you could run it without the body. But it still looks great.

I think it kind of looks cool, I would shorten up the rear links for a more scale wheelbase. Right now it kind of has a hill climber look.

I think it looks great man! As far as the body mounting : people usualy solder or braze nuts to the tubing and fasten the body with button head hardware. You could strip the paint and do it all you realy need is 2-4 nuts on each side and maybe 1-3 on the top!
