Welded steel panels

[PHULL]

What are your opinions of using welded thin sheet steel for the side panels instead of rivited and bonded alloy panels. Has anyone tried testing the chassis for a loss in rigidity aster say season or so you see if the side panels work them selves loose?

Thanks guys

I'm at the building stage so I can't really answer about the durability , since I haven't experience it first hand, but the bulkheads skins are welded.

My main concern would be the additional weight.

I'd like to hears others oppinion on this as well.
