 Brent,
 I bought a pick-up truck version of those things so I can put it on top of 
my Doublecab. I'm attaching a PIC which the list server will unfortunately 
strip from everyone else's email. I'm taking out the mid-engine 384cc engine 
and trans. Putting in a Kawasaki Ninja 600cc with a 6-speed trans. Got all 
the parts on hand. I just need to find time to get around to it.
