Clever folk can still panel a round tube chassis..and it's a doddle to create the joins

I found it very difficult to weld round tubing... 
...that's 'round tubing' not 'around tubing' - or should it be 'around round tubing'?
I think I'm getting one of my headaches...

If attached correctly it can act as a shear panel, much like having a diagonal cross brace.
If disfunction is a function, then I must be some kind of genius.

Right, it's like nailing the hardboard panel to the back of a crappy chipboard wardrobe. It goes from a horrible wobbly pile of recycled
sawdust to a slightly less wobbly but no less horrible pile of recycled sawdust.

And using square tube would provide a much wider bonding surface for the aluminium
