Not doubting the strength and durability of the Active Power frame but I am very curious what you are basing your opinion of the "Aluminum TUB type frames" on ????[/quote]

My thoughts exactly- maybe taken as a general overview of ALL types of alloy tub; ie riveted-bonded-sandwich etc. BUT if you are comparing the tub of relatively thick, welded, alloy as per RCR( Sorry Fran ,but at this point you appear to be the only entity producing these commercially at this time ) then you should bear in mind that the methods used have parallels in both Marine and Transport Industrys with Boat Hull & Truck Decks/Bodys that see loadings etc far in excess of those that will ever be applied to cars like these.
