G'day folks,

Perfectly possible, Norm. There was even an ODK member a while back, who fabricated an entire SB45 replica chassis from stainless steel!
Edit: Just found that thread; https://www.outdoorking-forum.com.au/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/67873/model-45-my-custom-sb45-20.html

You'd have to be careful in selecting the grade of stainless to use, though, if going that route.
The common grades like AISI 304 and 316 undergo 'work hardening', and that makes them more susceptible to cracking than mild steel.
