yes / no ???
I bought some last night to fill the skyline sills with on friday when i get a day free.
Do you think it would stiffen the chassis much? I was also considering taking it further and filling accesable chassis rails....
Would you do it?

That stuff is flexible.
How on earth is it going to stiffen anything up?
Also, it may trap water and promote rust.
Also it's a bitch to apply properly, and even worse to remove from the bits that you didn't want it to get on.

expanding foam isnt flexable!!!
It will expand in a confined space, making it very 'hard'. That will be more ridgid than 'air'
Only concern is the water / rust aspect

Maybe you can get different grades, but the building stuff that i'm thinking of is flexible. You can compress it between your fingers. 
Could be used to strengthen side skirts, but would do sweet FA for you if you wanted it to add rigidity to sills/chassis rails.
