FRAME
DESCRIPTION
The vehicle does not have a conventional frame. It
is constructed as a unitized body and frame. The uni-
body is constructed from special high strength steel
and coated metals. This process reduces weight and
provides strength to withstand the forces applied
against structural members. The structural members
provide a unibody that has great structural strength.
