we will attempt to aquire ASTM A500 grade B cold-formed structural tubing, 1x2x1/8.
Since I'm not an engineer, how prone is this grade of steel to rusting? And since you say you'd have to leave spots exposed for welding, how did you do yours since it appears to be completely painted? It looks like the welding just burnt the paint off.....if that's right, why not repaint over the welds on the car?
