I have inquiries in with a lot of vendors right now. I'll keep you all posted. Having a Stage 1 in North America is no picnic!

Hi, I rebuilt mine on a Richard's chassis about 2 year's ago, at the time i rang Marshland and they said they had enough part's to build 1 more stage1 chassis and then that would be that, but they may have changed there mind if they had had enough firm enquire's, that i don't know.
What i can say though is the Richard's chassis is spot on, everything fitted and lined up perfectley, the company was very helpful and kept me informed on the delivery, the quality was brilliant and would definatley recomend them to any one.

Richards doesn't have them. Marsland does, though. I can wait for three months. I'm not in a hurry. Just want it to be here by summer. Finding the least expensive way to ship it may be difficult. I wonder if there's anyone over here that could make a chassis so I can cut down on shipping costs.

Well, I found a guy in Vancouver that has a galv chassis lying around, by chance. However, he wants US $3900 for it before shipping. . .which is a bit of a rip off. I can get a D110 rolling chassis from eBay for $3500 shipped (see here on eBay . . . I asked for a discount and he knocked off $500). It seems like the D110 is the obvious choice.
Does anyone see any glaring issues with the D110 rolling chassis swap?
Will I have to consider steering side as an issue?

Nothing is for sure right now. If I could get a decently priced D110 chassis, I would go coils. If I can find a reasonably priced Stage 1 chassis, I'll be going with parabolics. I can't believe that guy in Canada wants $4500 canadien for a spare chassis. . . UGH

I can handle the freight depending on the condition of the chassis. Will you send me some pictures? I'd be happy to give you more than that for a good chassis.
