    The kick up is find fine. Don't take a step backwards. I would recommend setting the body on the frame, instead of a chanel job.....more interior room, and a well built chassis is nothing to hide. In my book, the only thing that has to be real low......are the seat cushions.

  3. Agreed. In my observation, the only time you really end up seeing much of the frame (T or A) on a T body is in pictures taken from taking a knee, a good distance, or lying on the ground. Most of the time you'll never see it under the body, particularly if you run your pipes down the side.
