This will be awesome to follow.
When i bulit my hood i only had the pichtures in the VS story.
Later i got my hands on the pichtures from the pressrelese day , and if i had these pichtures in begining
The sled would look better from the front.
If you can use 3D and CAD it will be great.looking forward to see

well here is a little update for you guys. after some more research i have found some minor but good information. to start, the original sharks were extremely lightweight but according to pieces written about them, they did not have any titanium on them, all aluminum and chromoly.

another thing that ive discovered is that the theory that the Kawasaki sleds are sitting in the original trailer in a warehouse is not probable. the reason being, the original race trailer that was used as a transport, continued to be used as a race trailer for to the TOC sleds, you can see it in a lot of the original promo and vintage videos. the reason i believe this is the same trailer, is because the R&D budget was low for Kawasaki racing and to build multiple trailers would be unreasonable.

anyways, the research continues!
