Another good bit of editing I missed ... ( well they are rare in many CW products ... )

Actually it isn't much clearer since it isn't clear if that 50% for a reverse trike is a one off or affects the chassis load modification costs (such as CA does - even though this is termed "frame" which is explicit from chassis). The terms Body, Frame and Chassis seem to be used interchangeably in some sections but have discrete meanings in others.

But my interpretation is: There is no such thing as "chassis cost", there is only a percentage of body cost. Thus if you change the base cost of the body by making it reversed you could interpret it such that a heavy chassis will cost 150% of this new base cost.

That said, random words randomly used and no worked example make this another of those "it means - whatever it means to you" sections of the rules.
