[DeTomaso] NPC Cushman

[michael@michaelshortt.com]

I'm thinking that bad boy needs a roll bar hoop with driving lights mounted
on it,

some fatter tires for sure.

a couple of small skids/outriggers will keep it from falling over in high
sped turns (?)

Gotta add a a double rail 1.5" x 3" Oak plank cargo box.

I expect this and more from you.
