We use chromoly at work on some buggy's and sand dragsters.ive always thought it's brittle expensive and hard to work and cracks seem to run compared to do?I have way more experience with mild steel we build bombproof rock buggy's with BBC engines and Rockwell's but they don't have the NHRA inspection and sfi specs like the dragsters.resale will not be an issue with what I build it will be a keeper the people here seem to know there stuff and I never have been the kind of person to find someone to answer my questions with the answers I want there is a lot of knowledge to be found here and I appreciate it

Can you build one with mild steel tubing?At work we build all our rock buggies with mild steel and it so much easier to work with than chromoly.Im going to get sfi book shortly and a new NHRA book the one I have is from the mid nineties lol

I agree completely I want something to run 8-10 times a year that won't break the bank and eat parts constantly
