Chassis Steel Grade

Hello people,

As everyone on here seems far more in on the locost gag than me I wonder if any of you can tell me if the material for the chassis is simply mild steel or are slightly more exotic cro-molys like reynolds 531 etc preffered?

I am thinking about racing the beast when shes finished so it needs to be racing legal but neither 'the book' nor the racing regs appear to specify the grade of steel that must be used....

Any help much appreciated...

Youv'e probably already got the answer..
but it's just Mild Steel.

I know it's a nightmare trying to build from
the book and check the latest racing regs
too. Knowing my luck they will abandon
the series by the time I finish it !

On a similar note, I think the book says
16 guage for the floor, but the racing regs
say 18....does anyone know ?
I don't have my book to hand..
