I was thinking that I have a few old lathe that. I was thinking of putting a few together and make one good one out of them. Anyone ever do this?
 
As long as things line up where it counts and your tool rest and tailstock are stable, there's no reason why building a lathe out of various parts (and/or materials) wouldn't work.

Have a look at Conover lathes. ;)
