--- Quote from: eddie on February 08, 2013, 07:48:20 AM ---it cost way more then $500 in material,I paid over 3 big ones just for the the laser/ brake bend work. it's not just the bunch of tubes welded together.
 and after the chassis is done you still need more metal to buy.20 here 30 there it adds very quickly. and do not forget about Mig and gas. total???

$500 for the tubing is correct.
3k! Yikes. We had some issues with the chassis works drawing. They may have charged you programming fees to redraw parts.

I got more than enough tubing for $500 but I guess it depends where you are.

What`s the real cost when your building your own chassis?
Plans? Steel? fabrication?

And weight??
