Take a look at the chassis specification sheet on page 73 of the rule book,
line 4. There's a
place for weld certification. I don't expect the judges to inspect the welds,
although if they
are obviously bad then they may say something. I don't think powder coating
would be a problem as
far as breaking the rules. Personally I think that powder coating a race car
is a bad idea. It
makes it more difficult to see cracks that form and also makes it difficult to
fix them or add on
brackets etc.
