Don't they have race car shops in Lancaster, York or Harrisburg? I know they race dirt cars and sprint cars out there. See if you can find them. There are 5 dirt tracks within an hour or so from you, in fact some of the best dirt track racing anywhere, right in your back yard.

Yea I called a few in the area. They were quoting me at around $4 a ft.! That place in Dilsburg in york is further away but for 2.86 a ft. for mid grade dom. Doubt I can find it cheaper but thats why Im asking.

If you can afford DOM do it, buy don't think you have to use DOM. Most frame builders use 1.5" .095 ERW tubing and it works fine when properly braced.

I was told from some guys that they would never go back to erw after having to many problems with it. They said not to bother and just spend the money on better tubing. Its worth it in the end.
