Sheetmetal shops
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have CAM programs, CAD drawings for various chassis configs. I can't find anyone in my area to produce them for me. (I live in the sticks) Does anyone have a shop that will do onesies and twosies, for resonable $?
Any references appreciated

It will be hard to get one or two at a reasonable price.
Most of the time is spent in setting up.
After everything is set, it's almost as easy to make 100 as it is to do just one.
I remember an earlier thread on chassis that mentioned Comboking as good source.

See if there's a place called "The Metals Supermarket" anywhere near you. There's one here in San Jose and it's a place that caters specifically to the small job market. Hobbyists, small businesses, and so on. I've bought some small aluminum plates from them, but I've been thinking about seeing if they bend metal, also.
A finished chassis costs in the $75-$100 range, so if you could get a custom one made for around that price, I figure you're in the money.
