[HBR] Chassis compromise maybe not : )

[William Wood]

OK Guys
    I went back yesterday to the metal shop and bought a nice big  
chunk of .050 Alunium : )  It will be easier to work with for sure,  
and I can gusset it up if I ever think an area is a little flimsy.   
The reason I wanted the heavier material was that I'm 3/4 of the way  
through reading the book from the CD (which I love) and the idea of  
mechanical stability has been addressed.  I thought if I address the  
subject aggressively there would be no question from that department.

    Completely off topic tho is the fact I also bought a 24'  2/4  
tubing for my hot rod.  Been using the S10 frame, but think I'm going  
to start a new one from the ground up.  This will be a project that  
will take a couple years, and am in no hurry to get it done, just  
getting started on the frame has been in the back of my mind for  
about 20 years now.  But like I said off topic.

    Think I will bring the nibbler with me to field day when or if  
the time permits : ) to start cutting out that chassis outline before  
the bending.  Look for W9UP out there guys, Phil has graciously  
allowed us to use his call again, Wisconsin's nine ugly puppies  : )   
Have fun
