[HBR] Chassis Questions

[B. Smith]

You could beef up the standard Bud chassis by cutting a heavier bottom 
and top plate.
Another option is build your own.  Cut sides and then bend   3/4 tabs 
for the top and bottom plates. . . then  to avoid the tricky side 
joints  join the sides  together with standard aluminum 90 degree angle 
available available at your home supply store using standard hardware.  
No brake , take your aluminum to a nearby by welding/fabrication shop, 
they can bend anything.
