Most important thing when it come to using sheet metal effectively is understanding exactly what your sponsors capabilities are. Once you understand that and understand what the turn around time is, you can decide what to do with sheet metal.


But once you get good at it and get the logistics worked out for a fast turn around, it will open up a lot of doors for you. If possible, you should try to get them to make a few parts for you before the season starts so you can get an idea of the turn around time and the quality of the parts.
