it not to bad to get into!, also theres bars that go to the strut tops and if u look closely in the rear there is bars that link up with the rear shock tops for more strength, also its tagged to the shell in most places so its solid as a rock!....just need to lighten the damn thing now!

I'd sure feel safe thrashing that at high speeds through a forest. Cool car Matt and goodluck with the rallying.
