Re: Good Material For Bottom of Chassis

I have heard of teams using birch plywood, G-10 or garolite, and perforated polycarb. Just as a side note, we have used 1/16" perforated 3003 aluminum sheet for our bellypan and I would not recommend it. It sagged and bent around the edges like crazy. Maybe go thicker if you can find it, or 6061, but that is very expensive.
