Hello, I want to build a locost but I am so slow I hate to start from scratch plus I not sure I trust myself to weld a frame. A frame, rolling chassis or partially finished would be nice. I am in Nebraska but travel a bit so distance is a bit flexible. Thankyou

Have a free frame that I'm about to put in the Classifieds. All you have to do is add just about everything! A variant of a plus 4 oriented towards De Dion rear suspension. Great start on your project. 46" wide. From back to front: 31" from back cross member to first, 53" to the second, 84" to first front round tube, 94" to front most round tube. I got it for free from someone who welded it together about 3-5 years ago but then he got a good job and was going to buy one instead. I've not done a thing with it in years (it's been hanging in the rafters) and have realized at this rate I'm not going to get to it.
It's in the Seattle area so the cost is right but getting it could be challenging.
