I think alot will depend on what your engineer and or local authorities want.
Example is the 540 I am assembling, in NT you apply for an "approval in principal" before starting your build.
The authorities rang the 540 owner about a week ago (I filled in approval paperwork and posted before heading out for my trip) and asked him if he had a torsional and beaming test.

So in the end it may still be required.

But in saying that, I think with the amount of cars FFR have built then they may exempt the requirement for test.
