And the chassis appears to be solid square stock... 1/4x1/4"
For the brake line (3/16") try to get the stuff that doesn't have any coating.
If you have a NAPA auto parts store near you ask them if they will sell it at shop price...it'll save you a couple $$ a piece (6ft.)

Ace hardware usually has an awesome selection of thicker walled stuff. Brake line is too weak. I tried my first rig out of brake line and every good fall would dent and bend it. Switched to a little thicker walled steel and I can probably drive my F-150 over it.

I never thought of Ace, what part of the store do they sell it under?
