[HBR] Chassis Questions

[Steve]

I had thought about that and in looking on your web page where you show the
chassis you used it looks to me that I could have my metal supplier to bend
up the 3 inch side pamels for me in say 5 foot lengths and then I could saw
off what I need and attach them to the top chassis.  For my metal shop to do
that for me is pretty cheap..

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.
