Welcome to the mad house Dave,

Can't help with your question.

Where abouts in the big wide world are you?

Just remember this one thing, we love pictures of people's builds

As previous post id recommend a flat pack chassis, for the time spent/money spent on raw materials i dont think its worth the bother. unless you get some weird kick from hacking steel up!

Ive a handy andy one and am chuffed to bits with it. Although Talon does one too.

Cheers Will

Far more satisfying to buy the box ,cut it and do the lot yourself
it takes a little longer and you get the right steel .
but will definitely take you a bit longer to do
but the choice is yours

I can do you a deal on a flat pack chassis and wishbones.
Chassis can be supplied in either 1.6 or 2mm ERW which includes the suspension brackets, basic plates for a rolling chassis and an ali rear tub. The wishbone kit has laser cut front plates, machine profiled tube ends and the bush tubes are rough bored to size.
