      ideas for 2x2 steel

      Hey All

      So I have a question for all the people who read this. I am just finishing up my High School welding class and as a final project, we have to make a useful product out of some given materials. I have 12ft of 2x2 square structual steel. I will also be starting a pro-touring project in the next few months so any ideas what I could do with this that could help me in building my dream car?

      Thanks
      Jordan

      Assuming the stupid web server ever comes back up, I made a body cart out of that same stuff. You would need more than 12 feet for one, but maybe you can make a subframe cart. I have included pics of my body cart. Check them out, assuming the server comes back:

      Expanding on Josh's idea of a body or subframe cart, perhaps you could make an engine stand.

      Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
      Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?
