We have wanted to build a full sheet metal frame using 6061-t4 aluminum. We felt we could achieve a better strength to weight ratio.
I'm really interested in seeing what sorts of results you all have with the sheet metal.

We're using .19" sheet metal for our frame, with some beefier stuff mixed in here and there. I was a little scared of going thinner than that. We'll see how it shapes up in a few weeks, I guess.

Good luck.
