Getting parts cheap at the co-op is a good idea. Buying new parts to build up that frame would almost certainly not make financial sense.
Exactly. I was just going to use some stuff from the Huffy that i have (has an upgraded rear wheel assembly) and other misc stuff that is laying around. I would not consider buying new parts for a bike project like this, like you said, it would not make financial sense at all.

Here is a picture of the frame:
As for the length of the seat tube, I am not sure, I have a tape measure with me to measure that length when i go to look at the frame in a few hours.
