Fabrication? I was thinking about prototyping my own suspension products out of chromoly tubing and was wondering if anyone else has done this and how did it turn out?

How good a weldor are you, and how do you intend to
test the product short of driving it hard, as your own
crash test dummy? These are the two key questions.
Welding comes down to the individual doing it. I know
better than to trust -my- handiwork.

i am a certified weldor an studied mechanical engineering and physics, as far as the testing, it would be done hard and at the track by myself.
