Stainless Steel Frame Question
From my understanding of materials, etc it seems you can just change the frame metal from one type of metal to the other without making other changes to accomodate the new metal:
Examples where the new material has to be worked with differently or things won't work right
stainless steel brake lines vs steel
aluminum frame vs steel (C6 Z06)
titanium exhaust (2001-2004 C5 Z06)
So my question is what was needed to be changed for the stainless steel frame for the Kirkham cars?
What are the differences of the stainless vs the steel (other than the no rust factor)
What's the weight difference?
Is the SS more rigid? If so, more prone to cracking instead of flexing?
I am not trying to make it look bad, I just want to underdtand it better.
Thanks.
