Default Replace Marathon metal body?

Just curious if it was possible to replace the all metal marathon body on an 86 ezgo gasser with the newer fiberglass/plastic ones.

It should help shed a little weight and update the styling a bit. :)

well, I'd like to at least replace the old top with the newer style with the handles built in.

My body is in great shape, freshy painted in a nascar theme. But, the new plastic bodies have to save about 50lbs I'd think. :)

So, how about just the top/canopy?

No, the frames are totally different. But anythings possible with a little cutting and welding!

I have an 89 Marathon with a newer top. The front support is from the new top and just relocated mounting holes. The rear is from a Marathon, the top sits a little high in the front.

Presidentially Engineered is more politically correct
