yeah i read that, i dont care who gets credit for anything, i was just wondering if i drew something up, if anyone could cut it out on a router table or cnc or whatever, i just wanna see how well something would work that i drew up, cause i made a few drawings on my computer, but have no acess to that type or machinery.

Pm StangKilla... He can have it done for you( outsourced)... Or maybe try Jetboat, or just about anyone in the vendor section that does alum work...I assume you want aluminum?

Material is really personal preference. As far as thickness, in delrin I'd go 1/8" and in aluminum I'd go .090" or 1/8".

DEFINITLY Delrin , I've seen a delrin chassis bent 90deg and not break , AND go back straight. It can take alot more abuse , and still return to normal. I have built MANY delrin chassis this year alone , just trying new designs and diffrent setups. It will also cut nicer in the router table.
Just my opinion
