Good afternoon,
I am interested in building a 23t but am very new to this. I have a kit car (Factory Five Cobra) but it was assembled by a builder for me. I now have a fabrication shop (Benders, notchers, welders, etc) and a fabricator who works for me (building parts for my off road race truck).
We just had a discussion about building a 23T and the topic of frames came up. It seems like the cost of the frames from the established builders is quite low. Is it really worth the time and effort to build a frame ourselves? Are there design benefits we could incorporate that are not included in the frames we can order? It seems like buying a body and frame together insures no headaches but we want to look at all the possibilities. You guys have the experience here so we turn to you for input.
Please let us know.
Thanks!!
Bill
