does anyone know what metal the OCC stingray 20'' frame is made of?

I need to know so I can weld. Google does not know
 
it is steel,,,we have welded many OCC/WCC frames and they are all steel,,,the OCC spoiler is aluminum tho ;)
 
When welding the steel Stingray frame, is it necessary to sand the painted areas of the frame that are to be welded? Also to add a 6.5 Horse Power Honda Clone (Harbor Freight) engine, the seat post pole must be removed and re-welded to the frame, is this a hard task and does that weaken the frame by alittle or alot?

a flame torch will burn the paint in the area right off. yes, it is necessary to remove the paint before welding. i suggest practicing welding before trying it on anything important. just as long as you reinforce the frame, it should not be a prob.
