good sh*t can they be made in aluminum since it would save weight and be more rigid

JCCT

Interested and watching.

Can we do this in aluminum rectangular tubes stocks instead of round steel tubes?

i didn't think aluminum was as rigid as steel, given the same size and shape?

can't wait to see more!

its not. its not very common to find chassis braces made of aluminum. on top of that it is very difficult to weld aluminum and requires totally different welding equipment.
