Also, a benifit with aluminum, is the ability to cast parts and have them to weld to the main chassis (if made from aluminum). Otherwise, smelting steel is close to impossible for home-builders. Also, aluminum is sometimes cheaper than steel.

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  -Brian
