ok well i'm starting the buggy project and i need to know if i should bother plating the frame. i'm thinking plating it with 1/4" but just on the out side. what are your thoughts.

grands are already pretty heavy, you really wanna add even more weight?

won't be as heavy when he's done with it.....
IMHO, 1/4" is a bit thick

with the amount of weight you're gonna be shedding off that beast to buggy it would an extra couple hundred pounds be worth worrying about?
