You can do that with a good tubular design too. Take a look at 2337's chassis, it was all bolt together using inserts into the tubes. Took a bit of time to do but was pretty simple. For reference, it was a combination of 1/8" and 1/16" thicknesses. The majority of it was 1/16" but the transmissions were 1/8" just to be safe.
