Yes, there was a shop at MSU for the students to use but it was shut down about 15 years ago or so? A friend of mine while attending MSU about 20 years ago would use the shop there to work on his truck all of the time. He loved it!!!
I LOVE my 3X 80! It is very stable and it will go lots of places that I probably should not o_O ! It is pretty much loaded and done now, but I can remember when it was stock like yours. Good luck with the build and I will keep my eyes out for it driving around Bozo or on a club run...
