Chrome moly vs dom

[twisterf5]

the best thing to do is call your local supplier/ all the best wire or gas means nothing if you can not use it. not going to post it and have a pissing match of what some one thinks is right or wrong. to hot to cold or your gaps are to big and you still will have a failure no matter what wire you are using.

I'll agree with that.

Also, my opinion, if you are asking what type of tubing to use maybe building a chassis isn't the thing you need to start with.

Been reading this thread with interest. I think this statement is the best one on the subject.

I know people that use a vibrating plate to stress relieve a moly chassis after mig welding. I've seen a 3 year old car that they ran every available night, ran up front, won, and it didn't have a single crack on it. I've also seen moly cars that had cracks all over them after a few nights.

It boils down to this....can you weld? Properly?

You are putting your life in the hands of the welder. I've seen DOM cages break beside the weld because they were too hot when welding. No different.

To the original poster. I would suggest DOM in the cage/driver's area. I would then build the rest of the car from electric weld tubing of a lighter gauge so it will take the bumps and bruises that come in this sport. That is how we have built cars for years and it seems to work for us. This is not a place to learn to weld, no matter what tubing you use.

Oh. I'm a fool. This comes from a guy that quotes Forrest Gump, can't spell or use correct grammar, and has contributed nothing constructive to the thread. I provided information about filler rod, shielding gas, and how it's done in a pro level chassis shop. The smarter people on here have already checked it out and confirmed it so it'll just be natural selection from here. You haven't even mentioned what magic wire you use so you're just making noise.

first off your the one that replied to MY post with your boo boo welding for nasa bull sh!t, second maybe you should have done like ole forest gump and listened to your mama a little more, so i will stand by my statement, " you sir are a fool"

I have a friend who builds his cars that way. No issues I know of to date and the cars work very well. I myself just prefer DOM.
