Title: I sent out my Chassis Works blue prints for quotes!
Post by: Robert on April 25, 2013, 08:10:17 AM
I sent out my Chassis Works blue prints for quotes to Alro Steel. I have one quote back for the brackets $650 for laser cut. There are around 50 brackets, I thought this was a decent price. What kind of quotes have you guys received?

That seems like a good price. If I ever do a custom chassis I will have all parts laser cut for accuracy  ::beers

Are they asking you to do more than one run? They have a shop near Chicago which is close to me and that's a a really good price around here, especially since the quote I got the shop wanted 3 runs minimum.

The quotes for the chassis tubing, the rear suspension, and brackets. Laser cut and saw cut for sq tubing. $3100. The sheet metal should not be to expensive. What do guys think?

I'm going to run several sets of brackets in a couple weeks. I'll do $575 a set. I also have the rear hubs already cut. I can also cut the sheet metal if you need it.

Yes, just for one. I believe there is an Alro steel in Grand Rapids. Google it.

I want to source my steel from one supplier. Michigan's economy stinks. You do have other item I like!

Wow, I received my 2ND rear suspension quote from Alro steel because they made a few mistakes on the first one, $ 1300.00. 3/4 of this was for cutting the tube! I sent back a revised quote and told them, I'll cut and fit the tube. I will see what the next quote is in a day or two.

I am on my way to building a Lambo! Alro Steel is processing my order. I will start assembly the chassis soon!
