HI Brian,
you can try aluminium. It is 3 times lighter than steel, easy to saw, file and drill. THe hull plates can be manufactured from 4mm thick aluminium sheets.

Hi everyone. My name is Brian and I have stumbled across the website.
I have always thought I was crazy to make a remote tank. Glad to see I
am not alone. I am a college student with big ideas for a tank. Could
anyone point me in the right direction for buying or acquiring a
inexpensive empty hull. I have ways of getting all the guts that would
go inside the tank but my funds are low to build a 1:6 scale Abrams like
I want to out of steel. So the only part holding me back from starting
my project would be getting a body. Any help would be great
