Again this is just my guess and just offering this observation from a safety standpoint. Obviosly I do not know what you are planing as far as reinforcement or roll cages.
good luck in a huge undertaking.

Actually it is 1.5"x1.5"x.100" wall tubing (nice and light)
That is the basis of a whole lot of frame work, its basicly just a straight frame to work from.. I have about 1500 feet of 1.5" x .058" round tube in stock, a hydraulic tube bender, and a tig welder to make it all real.
I am sure most of you will think the wall thickness is a little thin, but this is to keep it light and to be able to go nutz with the tube to make it strong.. it will basicly be a space frame when its done.
I am a self employed welder/fabricator and have alot of experience doing so.
So I assure you it will be rigid
