Re: Sheet Metal Chassis
We used 0.063 sheet with 3/16 pop rivets. We had conservative lightening on the side rails, and no lightning on the bellypan, and the bare frame weighed 9lbs.
Love it, and would do it again.
If you plan on using sheet, do yourself a favour and get a pneumatic riviter, it will save you a lot of time and effort.
