Channel the body for low c.o.g. ( a plus with a short wife lol)
And think flat belly for ground clearance.

HAHAHHAHHAHA sorry, you are just not wired that way! I said the exact same thing at the last car show while I loaded another dirtbike into the back of my truck. Funny, I paid the same amount of $200 for my project also.

I can't tell you how excited and proud my wife was when I pulled in the driveway!

Your projects are always the best to sit back and watch so you came to the wrong place to be discouraged!

well... i broke down and put a turbo on it today
figured if i was gonna mount the body, i might as well make room for a turbo.
and well, heh.... now its got a T04E

a little more repositioning and adding more parts...

i didnt like the body placement with the factory style turbo install.

so i deleted the turbo for now, and was able to get the front end on..
alot happier about it and finally able to start doing body mounts.
