For sale lightly used. Wife’s sled.

Its fine! Thats what happens when you ride your sled. Its just a machine. The fun I had with Farmer and I bet others will say same. Priceless. Get'er done Tom!

Looks great. I like that you have holes there.

Thanks. I thought it should have a way to get that heat out under the tank.

Is that Tube between the engine mounts stock? Was thinking about doing that for my Viper too.

I believe so. I’ll no more once I get new exchanger.

Thanks! Sadly is time before I get mine back in so...

Damn, your this far into it just put a new tunnel on it.
Looks like fun!

Not my call. I do what I’m paid to do. This is what he wanted. I would have just found a new chassis and dropped motor in it but when you have this amount invested hard to change the direction. This will work and most likely be stronger then the tin foil I have worked with.

I plated my tunnel about 4 or 5 years ago when it separated from the heat exchanger and it is still holding up strong.
Can't believe how cheesy that area is.

 

[MrSled]

Finally making some headway. New front exchanger is in and started to assemble the remaining new parts. Still a long way to go.

Nice work Tom. That thing will be stronger than new.

Looks Great! Mine next. Actually may ask for help with wrap if you are up to it and no snow thing.
