Looking for info on setting up 1 product with a different layout

I know this is possible and for the life of me I can't figure out how.

I want all the same info that is on my other product_info pages, I just need it laid out a bit differently for this one product.

Please point me in the right direction. I've searched these forums and googled it also.

I think I'm going to be told to make a new product type. If so, please tell me how. I'm confused!

Re: Looking for info on setting up 1 product with a different layout

Assuming your 'laid out a bit differently' can be done in the stylesheet, you can have a page-specific stylesheet. Basic idea is described in the CSS_read_me.txt file in includes/templates/classic/css.

Re: Looking for info on setting up 1 product with a different layout

I more than the "look and feel" that I want to change. Maybe it can be done with the CSS, but I'm thinking it's more the product_info page I need to change for one product.

I am needing to move around where everything is and remove a few items.

On all other products, the product description is below all the attributes, add to cart button, etc..

For this one product, I need to move the description to the top, above the product price, attributes, etc...
I want to remove some hard-coded formatting I have put in the product_info page (like "substitutions may made" and things that are for all products EXCEPT this one.

Please help if you can at all.
