Very low center of gravity helps with the handling. Custom cross member, teering rack mount, teering shaft, otor mounts, ire wall, ransmission mounts, ustom transmission tunnel, ut out in the lower front air dam for more air to the radiator, xhaust cut outs, as tank moved, elded rear and front seams to smooth in the body, lso filled and smoothed where the marker lights went.
