Default Chassis Steel

Hi everybody,

After reading the book for a couple of times and reading kit car magazines for ages i have decided its about time i started building my own car.

I am starting this weekend but need to get the steel ordered this week so it will be delivered before the end of the week.

I spoke with a couple of local steel stockholders and they said i can get rolled steel 25x25mm square section with 2, 2.5 & 3mm wall thicknesses OR 25x25mm ERW tube with a 1.2, 1.5 & 2mm wall thickness. Any ideas which wall thickness i should go for or what you have used?

All help or advise would be great, think i may be needing plenty of it over the next few months/years!!

Thanks
