Re: Input On Steel chassis w/wood inset

well, i can tell you we won't be using the kit frame.
if we can manage a solid welded aluminum frame, i think its the best option.
however, it may be a little out of our reach this year, and i was brainstorming alternatives
also, i had thought aluminum is more expensive than steel is, but i dont know if thats true
we are hoping to go to nationals and need all the money we can get

edit: what is "extruded" aluminum? does than mean angle?

edit #2: well, im sure we would go with reinforced plywood before the kit frame, unless it gets a lot better next year. I know this because we did it last year
