Is this a good metal to use for a chassis?

Im going to be buying a piece of 3" x .125" square tube to make my chassis for my Maxx Crawler.

Im not familiar with 6063.

Ive used 6061 and mostly 7075 in alot of my other projects.

Thanks

I believe 6063 is used for aluminum window frames and such as it is an extruded material. Should work dandy for your project. Tons of information HERE

How easy is it going to be to cut this stuff? I would be using a Dremel.

What attachement?

Thanks for all the help.
