Even us "youngsters" need doors. My knees are fried. Dad said before he passed not to let them "F" with your knees. It's a family trait as Sis has a 1 1/2 knee done an little brother has had his worked on

As far as being free it would depend on what you call free .
The 2/ 4 channel I used for the frame .
1 1/2 by 1 tubing from the body frame and 1 sheet of 16 ga and 3 sheets of 18 ga I didn't by but I bid a couple of jobs for the guy
The motor and trans. were free sort of I do a lot of favors for the guy so he gave it to me been in the garage for 20 yr,s
And for the doors at 72 yr,s old it needs doors .
