Thanks again Karl and Nick. How much?

Larry and Mark, thanks for the input. It makes me wonder how the novice Locost chassis builders are able to build/weld their own.

cobrawiki, thanks for the link and that pic. Wow, what a chassis! I can almost see how ALuminium body panel might fit up to the small dia. tube superstructure. But that's the subject of another thread.

Chuck now wants $600 for each set of his plans. There is no discount for multiple sets purchased at one time, if I remember him correctly.

As much interest there is in building original chassis you would think the info would be easy to find . Having access to an original would be a big help. Do you think we could start a thread on the Originality forum to maybe get some input from original car owners ? So that we as a group could come up with a set of plans for at least the basic frame to start.

Plans may be out there for free, but I've been unable to find them.

I think Jim's plans are a good starting point.

I don't have them, yet, but they seem a more economical starting point than Chuck's. If we find errors or discrepancies then that's our own contribution.

We could use this thread or another to document what troubles we find.

Just my 2 cents.
