If you worked with 80/20 last year and could summarize the purchases that you made into a basic "parts list" for getting started, this would be great.

We began looking into 80/20 earlier this season and have heard that about 1000 linear inches should be sufficient for a basic chassis. Can anyone confirm? What should we add? Which connectors/fasteners have been successful?

Thank you.
1000in is more than 83'. That's a lot of 80/20. 100in is more reasonable, but may not be enough on its own to building a complete frame.
