My first tube chassis.

[WanderingHobo]

im going to attempt a tube chassis for my tlt-1. here is my first set of questions about it.

1. What material should I use and where would i get it?
2. What should i use to hold it all together? i dont have anything to weld.
3. how much does it usually cost?
4. what things should i consider in the design?
5. how long does it take to finish the build?

any help would be greatly appreciated. I will probably have more questions later, but this is all for now.
