    I have not been a fan of the chromoly chassis, other than rocket which seemed to have a good reputation. Local guy had a major name brand mod chassis at the time, which is still in business. It was a chromoly car with about 20 shows on it and no crashes. If memory serves me right it had around 40 cracked and broken welds in the car (this was early 2000's). That scared me, it told me that many guys out there don't know how to weld it, the welds looked fine (other than crack adjacent to weld) but when new the thing would have looked great. That always made me shy away from chromoly cars by most builders.

        Yes, it was the welders fault, but showed the flaw in chromoly in that people can easily screw it up.

          This is true , I can still weld fine , just give out faster now , finally found a young man that could satisfy me , he is as natural of a welder as i have seen in a while........
