Turning Rocc into an Azteca :o)

[roccnroll@hotmail.com (Drew Teague)]

If I understand Tyler correctly, then I think you have his idea wrong.  I 
think what he's doing will look like a stock rocco body-wise, but with the 
hatch open, the panel with the lights/license plate would fold down.  Is 
this the right idea?
