So I've been reading angle iron is the best metal for a frame because its flexible. And my dads shop he has a shelf made of angle iron so if I cut it to the right size and but a few braces in it for support shouldn't it work

Yep, I agree.
I use mostyle 25x25x2mm or 25x25x1.5mm square tubing for my projects.

Me too,

I used 25x25x2 for my frame.

I used angle iron in a few places: engine mount, trans mount, support for front axle and clutch mount ( it's a tensioner clutch).

Just a way to get a convo started
Wait a minute- you invented information to start a conversation? Seriously?

You know- when you post "information", odds are good that inquiring minds (such as myself) will want a reference. This can lead to us adopting an innovative idea, or debunking more internet BS. Maybe even just offering up a clarifying explanation for you.

Fabricating something for the merry hell of it is getting into troll territory. Please don't.

Why on earth didn't you just say "Hey, I've got access to a bunch of angle iron in the form of shelving- can I make a frame with this"?

Cause I did read a site which said its best

Really? Which site? (Reference requested- see above)

Any ways will it work or will I need a 212cc predator engine

You might want to stay to your own topic. We're talking about the potential use of angle as a framing material. So will angle work, or will you need a bigger engine? Hmmm. No. Different paint.
