Never kept track of how much tube went into this project. The reason for all the tube is to gain strength through design so thin wall tube can be used trough triangulation and trusses. The 3/4" -- 7/8" -- and 1" tube is all .049 wall 4130 chromoly. The heaviest wall tube is the box around the driver. This main cage area is is 1 5/8"x.083 wall. The lower frame rails and upper strut tubes for the front suspension -- transmission is mounted to is 1 1/2"x.065 wall tube and the upper frame rail the front motor plate is mounted to is 1 1/4"x.058 wall tube.
