Was laughing at the time, thinking of Sonoma when Gaetano (AKA: Track Junky - ran a best of 1:58.5) was going to show me how it was done.... LOL

Ron,

What size and wall thickness is the tubing and all being used under the floor? Looking for both the larger rail by the tunnel and the outer one on the rocker as well as the smaller pieces tying the 2 larger rails together if you don't mind.

Hey Steve,

Great question.

The front & rear crossmembers are 2"x3"x.120" & the outer rails are 2"x2"x.120". The inner structure is all .065" wall. Frankly the .120" wall is just for safety.

The .065" everywhere would be plenty rigid with all the triangulation & the tubular backbone that is not in there yet. Stay tuned.

Ahh, you'll need to wait & see. But you won't be waiting long.
