Im pretty sure welded steel is a bit stronger...



As for rivets, I would use them in the less vital area's, but not for heavy frame rails. They dont react to shock very well, and could also reak havok on the field with wheels and drivetrains if some were to come loose.

Just my 2 cents. If you can make it work you get a High 5.
