Looks dope! You're breaking a major rule of the internet which is to post a drive side pic. Drive side dude. :-)
seems you could riff off the new PF132 bottom bracket like the blackborow is using and instead make a 115 and use std pf24 cups and get much shorter chainstays, better mud clearance and easier to make/weld
Hey Greg -
The limiting factor here is the chain clearance. You can get loads more chainstay clearance if you want, and you can make the chainstays shorter, too - but you run into chain clearance issues with the tire if you try to run anything bigger (no point in having more clearance for the frame than for the chain) and you also run out of heel clearance with shorter stays in a hurry if you're going for low-Q.
FWIW, I am in general not a fan of pressed BBs, and the fab/welding work here is not super hard. But your idea is still cool!

This is so rad Walt! Nice job. I know how these builds go and now I want one of these. This is the 4" fat/29+/27.5+ all arounder IMO. Love the geometry too. Kevin is psyched!
