I feel that right now Spirit has the best designed chassis.

Welcome to the site. We have chassis kits starting at just $185, then going up from there depending on what you want us to put on it. We use a 2 x 3 tube with a 3/16 wall. All of our welding is done in the jig. give me a call if we can help you out.

I think you would be happy with a frame / chassis from any of the vendors on this site.

Very politically correct but the truth is we have great vendors here and I can say it is a pleasure to do business with Ron at RPM roght product at price quoted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would go with a Spirit or CCR ! Get yourself some chassis plans from CCR or from this site and build your own, you can have some local welder weld it up for you! You don't need a "jig" to build it, just "measure twice, tact once, re-measure and then weld" .

Welcome to the Site.....Spirit can provide either a MSO/serial number or an Arkansas Title for our kits. Spirit frames are 2x3 3/16". We offer the most complete kit on the market. All frames are jig built. Give us a call if you have any questions.

LOL if it were that easy, everyone would be building frames!

I don't know what your frame or welds look like with the pictures shown, but here's a thought. Maybe save the frame that you have and add some gussets to reinforce your joints. I'm sure sponsors of this site would be more then willing to analyze what you have and offer their honest opinions.

Well I typed it up and just noticed that the O.P. has been banned. I'm still going to throw it out there and maybe better my own education.

The trick is measuring , I didn't say it was easy, just not impossible. You don't need to spend time and money on a jig for a one time frame build. I didn't have a jig to build mine and it's square and level! And it's not a 1/16" off.
