What is a long wheel base frame that has been cut down to a short wheel base worth? It was Z'D and done right.

Re: Wiw

What qualifies it as "done right"? Some pics might help.

Re: Wiw

It was done exactly like the one in the FAQ section on shortening a long wheel base frame

Re: Wiw

I suppose that would depend on how bad ya wanted one J/K. I'm sure there alot less down there than they are up here in Pa, but still less than a nice original SWB frame no matter how well done it is. I have seen a few originals go from members here pretty cheap.

Re: Wiw

rolling chassis or just the frame, if its a roller, does the front end or rear end need work? Painted or unpainted?
