Is it possible to build a home made chassis

[Ariablutron98]

Hay people after taking my c5 out for a spin after school it came to me that when I went to b&q last time I saw thick and long steel tubes. Using my welding skills and also my drill and some bike spare parts would it be possible?
Thanks

It would only be worthwhile if you were making provision for additional features such as a different power unit or a gearbox for the pedal operation. Otherwise you would have great difficulty in making a lighter and stiffer chassis than Lotus designed .

OK then.Spaceframe, using airframe tube,would give stiffness(if you've done your calculations right) and lightness. Make it in a jig for accuracy, and use TIG.

I'm keeping a low profile  When I first took over the site in 2008 it was awkward having the previous owner still posting away as it gave the impression nothing had changed. I didn't want that to happen to the new owners here so I've stepped back, which seems only fair 

Plus, with a v8 Jeep along with my MGF and motorbike I've plenty of toys demanding my time !
