Hi Robert,

If you go down that route make sure you have plenty of drainage holes, if not the galvo will get trapped inside the chassis members, the end result is that your chassis will weigh twice as much! If it were me, shot blast and powder coat, and wax oil inside all the box sections.

Be lucky

Brian
