Body panels are hand formed 6061 on a 1" steel tube frame. Front forks are steel and stainless and are painted with an aluminum auto acrylic. All used parts have been cleaned repainted or resurfaced. The body is protected with a product called REJECTS. It's like a wax but bonds to the metal. Seem to work very well, no fingerprint or oxidation on the alum in almost 8 months.
