From the pictures, the welding looks realy bad. In some areas it looks like it is not even welded.

Please have a thorough look before you collect.

The problem with working in a sheet metal shop for 5 years is that you learn to put 'weld preps' on all the tube and sheet metal so when it's welded and ground flush it's still strong but does'nt show. As for the rough looking welds yes the first chassis was thrown together in a rush for the photos.

the chassis phil has supplied is top notch

i have seen alot of chassis on stands at shows that dont look anywhere near as well prep'd

phil is a real helpful guy, well worth a look if you are in the market for a chassis or any other fabrication work..
