I am not sure who actually assembled the Disco chassis, but I would bet that the tubing was suppied by Gilco. I would tend to think they were designed "in house"; perhaps with some consultation with Gilco.

If Alfa ever built some sort of experimental chassis using sheet and box construction rather than tubes, I have never seen any photos. I do believe, however, that the Abarth designed and built 1900 Alfa with Ghia coachwork has this type of chassis, whereas the Alfa 1900 with a very similar body has a standard 1900 chassis.
