Update on Chassis

Picked up ALL the steel today from Industrial Tube and Steel. highly recommend them. I called 2 other steel places and tubing is over $7 per foot for 1.75x120 wall. They sold it to me for $3.67!

Brody is bringing me I-Beams for a Jig I am going to build for frames and then we will be off to the races!

That is a good price. Did you call Hirschberg Steel? It was $3.85 per foot with tax when I bought all that tube. A lot of places rip off the public.

Nice! I like it...

Looking at the S-curves at the rear of the box frame, are those needed for clearance? Or to mount something? They might be simpler and stronger if you just bent one 45 and straight down to the crossmember...
