Building some rails for a hotrod, and to create the curve and design in the front to go up and over the axle I'm wanting to go 4 piece rails, side side top and bottom, all fully welded together. Is this acceptable in nz? If so is it strictly tig only or can it be migd together? I've done similar practice in cnotches etc in the past but nothing of this size. Thanks ibb.co/NF07m6Hibb.co/1m5p08v |

Thanks ibb.co/NF07m6Hibb.co/1m5p08vHi Corey Yes, you can build chassis rails as you have indicated, but if you are going for the look of mandrel bent rails, note that the welds cannot be ground smooth as the chassis rails are considered structural. The requirements for chassis construction are in this chapter of the CCM - www.lvvta.org.nz/shop/chapter-5-chassis-modification-construction/ and the requirements for welding are in this chapter of the CCM - www.lvvta.org.nz/shop/chapter-18-attachment-systems/ (they are both a free download) As this is a bit outside the normal box, I would take your plan to your certifier and discuss it with them before you go too far down the road and have to undo, then redo a bunch of fabrication work.
