Tube Chassis Help

I have a friend about two miles down the road who builds tube chassis. He gets about 2500 to about 5000 for a complete chassis (depening on how much cage is there) and they can be certified when he's done. He's good. That said, he buys sheet metal and steel a LOT from the local steel company, so he gets good pricing. He makes all his stuff up himself. No kits. Of course his chassis are bare. Now ladder bars or steering....but that stuff is a small part anyway.
