Re: Good Material For Bottom of Chassis

This seems like a good thread to ask these questions:

For those of you who have used Garolite, I was thinking of purchasing 1/16th" Machineable grade Garolite from Mcmaster-carr to use as the bellypan of our chassis this upcoming season. I had some questions about machineability, mainly with drilling holes. I'd like to use a waterjet to cut the patterns I need out, but I'd imagine the impact of the water would be too much for the Garolite. Should i go about manually drilling out any holes, or look for CNC routing options?

Also, would 1/16" be enough to hold the battery and other various electrical components without sagging, or should I go for a thicker sheet?
