Well, that depends on the car and its intended purpose. For some folks a trip to the muffler shop and a couple cans of chrome spray paint from KMart will do the trick. But if you are talking about a

If you can get hold of the rulebook for whatever you intend to run, they should have the specs for "appropriate material". In SCCA, for example (2004 books), you 'll find those specs on Page 149 of t

Even easier these days is finding an off road 4x4 shop: they'll have certified welders and the tubing benders that can fabricate just about anything. It helps a lot if you give them a photo of someth

The problem with Chrome Moly is welding it. If you weld it, you need to heat treat it, and it is not very practical to heat treat it as installed in our cars. If you don't heat treat it after welding

I'm no engineer and have no idea what "low carbon steel" or even "high-strength chrome-moly" is from a technical standpoint -- but I know neither term appears in SCCA's rulebooks. Both require "seaml

Interesting and useful post, Mark. What you said about ERW makes the rulebook notation make more sense. It's only the solo book allows that, GCR does not, and the solo book "strongly" recommends agai

Sounds like a need for a terminology post. You're correct that low-carbon steel, mild steel and 1020 are roughly the same thing. But, 1020 is a specific grade of mild steel, just as 1010 and 1012 are
