Re: Sheet metal vs Tubing Chassis

I would do a tube frame and save the sheet metal resource for superstructures, personally. Making a WCD nowadays takes very little time, and for us at least it makes more sense to go with that rather than use our sponsor's time making the chassis for us.
However, having flanged sheet metal for superstructures is very lightweight and nice IMO.
