     I actually worked mig welding those frames at the factory in trf for a time right out of high school. Not very osha friendly dungeon to work in as I remember. The Chrysler powered minis were the most fun to tear around with. Lots of front end lifting torque available.

Hate to be pedantic, but as a former resident of Alaska:  it is spelled Arctic....

Cool little bikes.  Honda made a better one though....
