	I was just wondering if anyone has ever thought of or has done this? I have been kicking this idea areound for a few years. I was thinking about how I could make a new custom belly pan and hood for my Indy Trail. I would make it alot skinnyer and some how lighter. This is just an idea I thought about putting out for discussion. 1996 Indy Trail, Custom Paint, Stickers, Custom Drop Brackets in the rear, SLP Ski's, Bar Ends, Low Windshield, UNI Air Filters.

	I have a few ideas, Somthing like the new phazer, how its molded closely to the engine with enought vent to keep the engine cool. The fron of my sled is held together by lots of rivits and zip ties, so I was thinking thier must be a way to make a whole new front clip. 1996 Indy Trail, Custom Paint, Stickers, Custom Drop Brackets in the rear, SLP Ski's, Bar Ends, Low Windshield, UNI Air Filters.

	trying to save weight on plastic?? lots of work for nothing, aluminum will get bent up and punctured way faster than plastic. harder to make a nicer fit than plastic. nothing goes like 3 holes!!

Agreed on the weight but he is probably just looking for a project and like stated above wants a new way to hold the front of his sled together instead of zip ties and rivets.

	i was thinking about using some small aluminum flat stock to make like a frame work and then put aluminum sheets for the body, I figure that could be light enought. 1996 Indy Trail, Custom Paint, Stickers, Custom Drop Brackets in the rear, SLP Ski's, Bar Ends, Low Windshield, UNI Air Filters.
