Aluminum strut holds the tank in. On most other GT's this strut is steel

Plexiglas rear window and aluminum roll bar. That's right, aluminum.

The diagonal black tubular braces running from the top part of the roll bar hoop back toward the rear shock towers is not original, but most of the vintage-raced original 904s have added this for safety -- a stronger roll bar. We had the original rear body section parallelogram hinge mechanism, but it was awful and so replaced it with a crude but practical aluminum tube brace. I don't know whose idea it was to paint the motor fan shroud red, but so what. The wheels are all steel whereas the originals were magnesium/steel.
