Would the Tundra (Ski-Doo) type struts be any better or worse than the Yamaha ones?
Give that hood some luvin'!

I'm just kinda focused on function. The struts or homade trailing arms will be an after thought. The hood how ever will be polished up after it is proved to run. I'm thinking about a kid in town here does paint then either the stock stickers from 78 or try to find some new 6000 stickers and cut to fit. The tunnel I will probably cover in a solid black sticker from one of those "wrap" places just see if I can get some sheets and cut to fit as well. But for surely need a copy of the original 6000 sticker for the tail end.
Probably going to have a PDP flap made ... Any suggestions on a logo???
I'm thinking this logo
Danget the copy and paster aint workin again!
The stock flap is just too wrong shaped

Worked on the hood, brakes, and controls a while today
Got one side of the fiberglass on had enough fumes for one day

Got my brakes all apart and moving line hooked up and bled. Got the handwarmers and grips on
This has inspired me to want to start work on a '93 EXT 580Z. I already have an Ekholm tunnel and front end for it. Not sure what to do for shocks or the rest of the sled actually. but I have a few months before I get some time to work on it. The Ekholm tunnel has a u-cooler and running board edge coolers so I wanna utilize a liquid cooled sled. Don't want the tunnel to go to waste.
Its arrived!!!!!!
I waited near four months to get this crank built but instead the new guy sent it back in fixed with rust on it
So I sent it to my usual awesome builder and it was new in a week! Got two of the last four bearings in existence ! The only downfall was he forgot I mailed it and it sat in his shop a week waiting for me to pick up haha!

If you have time, don't be afraid to rattle can the hood.
I had the opportunity to fix up a hood for the kids sled. The way the hood was when I got it. The fissures were quite deep but once cleaned up, painted and buffed it will work good.

Looks good in there! Got the wiring harness started but got sidetracked helping a buddy
Built a wireing harness with everything minus the racepack. That should be here soon.got the violent hoses fit. Bottle mounted. Welded the pull cord loop too low. Cut the can apart and ordered new tube to build my own. Fuel lines all ran.
Has spark!

Funny how those "little" projects eat up so much time.
Looks good in the chassis
Almost ready for a test run across the grass!
What reeb! There's still snow to be had here!
I'm just doubting I'll ever see snow again I think...LOL

Pulled the rope today! Idles nicely!
I bought some aftermarket choke and throttle cables. The chokes are adjusted all the way in to function and my throttle screws are near all the way out to pick the slides. Pretty boggy sounds like its getting too much air but haven't built the air filter yet.
Had trouble mid day ended up rebuilding the fuel pump and we were off and running. Also a plug cap just fell apart as I touched it. Also got denied at cat quest trying to buy some springy hose clamps.
The coolers felt like they weren't circulating. Lots of bends and corners its probably got some air.
