Best prices around. They are even cheaper than my local supplier including shipping!

I just had some DOM and 4130 Chromolly tube sent from Online metals for the Race car cage I'm working on.
Quick and easy! Reasonable too. You can also just buy the lengths you want. UPS delivered it. Easier than getting theis special stuff from my local supplier.

The reason that the Chassis Shop is cheaper is that their tubing is not DOM. Plain welded seam steel tubing is not as strong as DOM.

They do have lots of cool racing bits & pieces though. Thanks for the link.

If you want chromoly try aircraft spruce. They have a better selection and the pricing is good.
