Does anyone have good ideas on what's the best way to connect the vertical connectors (struts) to the upper and lower portions of the chasis. We don't have ready access to a welder, so we're trying to figure out if there's something comparable to the corner connects for the vertical pieces.

Scott,

When you build the "second story" make sure that it is slightly smaller than the "first floor" to avoid screw-heads, et cetera, being in violation of <R14>.

Mike
