Whoa....I never thought of that! Would it work? Could a 5E3 circuit push a 15"????

There may be other problem I can foresee. Since I'd probably be buying the cabinet, there's a risk that the chassis would be too short for the opening in a Pro cabinet.
There is no problem with a tweed deluxe pushing a 15" speaker. It takes very little power to drive a speaker load; take a look at the 1/10w ZVex amp which can be used to drive a 4x12" cab for proof. Just make sure you get the correct impedance.

As for the cab, you are very likely to need a custom cab anyways, so you could get it made to fit the chassis; Armadillo Amp Works makes really nice cabs at reasonable prices.

The only potential problem is that if the Mission Amp kit is meant to be mounted vertically (like the original tweeds were) you might need a pretty deep cab to clear the speaker.

Have you considered building a head? Then you could use it with whatever cab you wanted, switching to suit your needs.
