Can Anyone Mill or Cut Chassis's Here?

Post by mikedealer »

i got a black tub, wanna get the edges shaved down professionally..

is it easy enough for me to attempt? im pretty handy but aluminum on a curve like that seems like a challenge for me for some reason, dont wanna ruin a tub.

anyone feel confident and have the right equipment to do it wants to do it for me? i can pay $$ or trade parts for the job?

All i want are the sides cut, motor plate trimmed which i can probably handle that.. and thats it.. no lightweight milling or anything.. just the sides are the main thing

it's not too hard to do yourself. i cut my chassis with a few simple hand tools.i just marked it where i wanted to cut it, cut above the line and filed it the rest of the way to make good edges.i took my time and it still took me about an hour and it looks as good as any cut chassis i have ever seen.i can post a pick of mine if you would like to see. (some people don't look too kindly on cutting up a perfectly good tub. :evil: lol)
