My biggest reason was the durability of the hood. When i bought the sled, the hood was destroyed, i spent hours glassing it back together and prepping for paint, then the wind caught it when it was up and ripped it off the spring and broke it. I was done after that.
If anybody is interested in this route and how it was done, let me know, i will take some more pictures of the parts that were made to make it fit nice.
