Let me start off by saying, I'm not the most handy person when it comes to fabricating stuff, however, I'd like to make a fiberglass chassis for my Royal Ripper. I stumbled across an old post for this homemade chassis for the hotshot...
I sent a message to prp but he hasnt been on lately. I'd like to make a chassis similer to this one, but I have no idea how the chassis is being held together. What is he using here to make the sides of the chassis connect with the bottom of the chassis? Before I saw this I thought about using some sort of metal "L" shaped bracket, but I didnt think this would be sturdy enough. Any ideas?

Re: Homemade fiberglass chassis...
well, it's definitely held with a small bracket or block, I'm thinking if you don't have resource to make a nice bracket, but want something trick, an aluminum servo mount would probably look and work perfect.
maybe something like this:
