Will do as we progress on the build.

I really don't know how much heavier the Warhawk tall deck is. There is a lot more aluminum there. Bob

What are your plans for front and rear body mods - ie wings, spoilers, lips? Just curious what you would add for high-speed stability, because I think you might need it. I notice the MTI track cars have the trunk spoiler and front edge farings. Just curious.

Good questions, we will be adding these components as well. I was just talking to the customer about the rear spoiler yesterday. Bob
