Default I need a stainless steel chassis?

I am looking for a stainless steel scale chassis to finish up my Bomber! So who are the best fabricators for a chassis?

I've got a titanium Speedy B1 being built right now. Stainless is too heavy.

What it the application of your build? A polished SS chassis would look cool, along with a boat load of VP parts and custom paint. Just curious, what is wrong with the OEM cage? It is fairly easy to alter the stocker with 1/4" HR tube, .060 wall thickness. M3 hardware fits perfectly, welds easily as well.

Exactly. The tubing also migs (GMAW) well with .025 wire if you don’t have a tig setup.
