Where ever it is that this is now law, this is what it says:
Frame: A motor vehicle must be equipped with a frame. If an existing frame from a recognized manufacturer is not used and a special frame is fabricated, it must be constructed of wall box or continuous section tubing, wall channel, or unitized construction capable of supporting the vehicle, its load, and the torque produced by the power source under all conditions of operation. All welding on the frame must be completed by a certified welder and the structural strength of the frame must be certified by an engineer as meeting the applicable standards set under 49 CFR 571 Parts 201, 214, 216, and 220 through 224, and the SAE Standards.
Where is this law??
Now on the rules of the materials that have to be used, I can kind of see the point. However on the "All welding on the frame must be completed by a certified welder and the structural strength of the frame must be certified by an engineer" part I think is just another way for the government to make more money.
