Yes, it would be awesome if they could re-pop the UFO airbox.
What I was getting at before was if they could re make the tank, I was wondering why they couldnt make it a plastic one? Does it have to be aluminum? Is it cooler that way, yes, but plastic could be had for a LOT less than the cost mentioned above, for 500 dollars, and it could be mass produced. Maybe something to look into?

Since you've got their attention, why not ask about doing a plastic top mount tank? You can always race cut your fenders, the tank is more desired I believe...

Got the holeshot
Who's got the UFO front fender
(Is thats too big?) he offered a re-pop at one time I thought.
The package deal would be nice...but any reproduction is a good thing.

Looks like it's a no go with DC Plastics... Here's the email I got.
Hi Brent,
That's got a few too many curves for us to make. It looks like it would have to be a two piece design which I'm not sure how that would work out. If you would like to send it to me, I can take a better look at it. However, from the pictures I doubt that we can make it.

4 Wheels? Huh?
Plastic guy i know says it would cost a lot to have a mold made of that size, and that you would have to sell quite a few of them to make it worth wild.Originally Posted by techguy

Brent, I get the feeling you like tinkering with new stuff + ideas. This technique has always intrigued my wife + I. Vacuum forming.
You already have the pattern piece(s) to form around, I would think you may have enough stuff around the garage to get well under way,,,, maybe not.
I have read/heard certain parts with large protrusions or intricate pattern (350x head light shell and Bigred side panels in my case) are virtually impossible to vacuum form ,,, but perhaps this may be something to investigate ,,, ?
My key word search was "how to make vacuum parts" and variations of that wording.

Anyone think about contacting UFO? It's their piece and they may just be interested in running some new ones including shrouds.
Here is where my long useless list of stuff nobody cares about should go...
