If you are keeping the body, then stick with something like 2 x 4 tubing. It wouldn't be all that hard to build, but if there are good quality used frames available, I'd just go that route.

Here in MI, good frames are non existant. If I'm able to follow my F-toy goal next year, I'll be building a 2.5 x 3.5 or 2.5 x 2.5 frame for it.(trail only, no comps).

Yep I've done it, fun stuff. I only did the back half, but I have a truck I'm getting ready to work on that will be the entire frame, production prototype. I have not yet decided if I want to do sq. tube or double round tube. Double round is probably more work but will look cooler and should be cheaper as far as materials go.

Here's my build up thread for Project Junior.
