| Re: Building a Frame?
I think you'll find that the GD chassis is by far the lightest and because of the 3D spaceframe rather than ladder design is the strongest (least likely to flex and twist) of the lot.
You may be a way from the main manufacturers, but as long as you live on the mainland, or a short ferry trip away, you can always go collect the GD chassis on a roofrack.
For my money, the amount of hassle you'll have getting the geometry right, getting the shape right so the engine and box fit in etc (the GD chassis is officially not a 'tight fit' its 'precision engineered' :thumb: :thumb: ) and considering the resale value (i personally wouldn't buy a diy chassis with 400 bhp going through it) you'd be best shelling out a grand or two for a professional chassis.
just my pennys worth.
