BRZ Quarter Panels, Frame, and Chassis made of Ultra-High Strength Steel/Super-Steel
Hi guys, I was wondering if you can get your BRZ quarter panels, body frame, and chassis (esentially all the metal parts) made of custom high-strength steel or the new automotive super-steel? I want it stronger, lighter and longer lasting. A link of high-strength steel and super-steel below for those who don't know or understand its value. How can I get my BRZ constructed out of this?

I’d be easier to just strip the chassis and stitch weld it where needed. Modern cars are pretty stout already though. I don’t really see a need.

Is this serious? Granted If I'm retired and this is a long-term project car, is this the way to go?

First you need to buy the steel. Then you need to buy a stamping press and a building to install it in. Then you need to make the tools and dies to do the stamping, install them in the press, and fit them. Then it's as simple as loading the material into the press, waiting for it on the other end, welding it all together, painting it, and reassembling the rest of the car onto it. Please keep us abreast of your progress.

Better to strip body. Weld up the frame to stiffen, add any braces and replace with full carbon body.
