I spent a couple of years on this 30ft stretch project and decided to go another way. The Chassis is complete and welded together both inner and outer frames. No interior, no front suspension, no drive train, no boggies. Just the frame and body. It's free to anyone wanting to finish it.
Here are some pictures.

....and could someone tell me where it is located or is this a secret for
the Forum group only ?

How is it that half messages appear on the email version.
The first I saw was Johnny B's commentary. Where was it originally posted?

Mike, I don't know why you didn't see it. I got it in my mail list digests so I ASSUME it went out to everyone on the mail list. It was originally posted in the forum but the software automatically forwards each forum post to the mail list. Someone commented this am that they were not seeing emails so perhaps there is a glitch with the feed to the mail list from the forum.

I, too, wish it were closer or I had a way to transport it. Although I need another big project like I need a hole in my head. Laughing

Thank you fellows for the info. A couple of you sent me a forum link but I
was still unable to discover Where it was.
I logged on to the forum, (after getting a new password etc) and am still
unable to see where it is located.
The good news it a couple of messages came in while I was at the forum
wandering around. Dennis gave me the address, but for the life of me I have
no idea where he found it .
So once again, my apologies for my crankiness...there is still snow on the
ground here and my bikes are screaming for me to get them out. I can't.

And Dennis, that "business" has snow banks over 3 cars and no signs of
footsteps...drove past yesterday.
Kerry...there could indeed be a glitch and it seems to happen every few
months.
Chuck...nothing I can do ...we both know I'm an idiot!!

Tks All
