As an engineering student myself, I would strongly recommend an engineering degree. It will teach you the right way to angle bars to get the desired effect whether It be strength or flex. Depending on the school, you might also take classes that will relate to the suspension geometry. I would recommend looking into purdue, I believe they have a motorsports engineering degree.

I agree. All of which sounds like big $$$ that I dont have at this time. But whos to say that I can't own a chassis company and hire someone like you to be my lead engineer? If i know enough about how the chassis work, I can make adjustments that aren't directly related to the strength and integrity of the frame but could help with performance matters. I know a chassis company in micro sprints that moved the position of their rear axle back to increase forward bite. Knowing what those kinds of changes do, can make someone without an engineering degree who knows what strength's certain metals have and their flex rates and etc, just as important as someone who does know all of that stuff

What do you mean? Are you saying just "Tig is easy", or are you saying theres so much more to fabrication than that? If the latter, i know that as well. I appreciate all the feedback so far, but everyone keeps replying as if Im gonna buy the equipment, build a chassis, and start a business. Thats not the case at all. I have started to think about how to make my cars stand out against the rest in terms of safety, speed, and "overall goodness". Its just putting those theories into practice thats holding me back at this time
