Thinking about how to build the body for my next speedster
Debating on skinning a steel tube frame with alum sheeting instead of steel sheet. I assume I would have to rivet it to the frame right? Are there any rivets that look better than pop-rivets but are still easy to install?
How hard is it to weld aluminium? Could I build the frame out of alum tubing and then weld the alum sheet to it? Does alumin tubing bend in a pipe bending or is it too brittle?
Lots of thoughts, lemme know what yall think!
