Have you seen the price of PVC lately? It will cost more than a VW engine. 4” is $83/stick online

It depends on how you are going to build it. Is this a DIY project or are you having a reputable builder build the frame. If you are going to DIY I would use DOM. Its more forgiving to weld on then Cromo. If you are going with a big name builder go with Cromo.

I thought chrome was drawn after it was produced, so isn't it also DOM?

And here we go. I will throw my thoughts in here build to spec. Use Cromo  for high strength and rigidity and mild steel will you need to things to flex.
