well ok maybe not a 100% free but heres my take on this. I work as a technition at a chrysler dealership. Free parts from scrap bin( still life left in them). Wheel bearings, hundreds of rotors, and a lathe to machine them. Shocks, spindles, knuckles anything automotive. My dad has 150 acres of woods where I get all the wood I need. I guess my dutch heritage allows me to visit the local motor rewind shop and dig in the scrap for left over rewind wire. pack rat special. Any way I guess we all have our resources. I just enjoy the challange making energy with the least amount of investment. It sure beats making payments on fuel guzzling boats an suv to pull it a days wages to fill the tank. Well enough of this
