I'm in the planning stages of building a light street rod with a smaller than normal engine (a mildly-modified Henry J 4-banger with a 3-speed OD transmission) and expect it to weigh around 1600 pounds. That's my goal, anyway. The local steel supplier has rectangular 2X3 and 2X4 tubing with thicknesses of .080" and .120". It seems to me that .120 would be over-kill for my use. It's been 40 years, or better, since I've built my last street rod frame and could use some advice from a pro.
Any advice will be very helpful. Dennis #2192
