If you mean this...


You would have to build the whole rear cage/third seat area, remove the fenders, rework the lights, and a few other changes. I plan on doing one using the Hobby Fan FAV as a base...eventually.

I haven't even got the kits yet. I am waiting for the price to come down some on the AVLB. The current price of $80+ is crazy for it.
