Thanks Matt

finally got a few days to work on it starting today. should get a lot done. i won't wreck it until you get a chance to ride it with the turbo on.

hey winter games in okoboji was last Jan.29-31, so it should be about the same week this winter (give or take a few days)

you need to come down for it and see it first hand....

Sled is looking good. Like the color combo.

If you don't mind. PM me the contact info for your powdercoat guy. I live in the S.C. area and it would be nice to know someone that does the powder coating on the side.

Installed the rear suspension tonight, just need to adjust track later.

i thought about changing body panel when i started but figured with the new turbo being put on that i am going to wait and see if i find wood before the years done. then i change the body panel if it survives.:thumb:

hey justin

how you feeling today???

ohhh not to bad.... Get it done soon, Rob barely has enough room in his shop left for a sled. I walked in today, and couldnt hardly walk there was so many outboards laying there. Another one pulled up when I was there. :face-icon-small-dis

sled is looking great!

Just a little FYI, when I switched from the old plastic to the new, we had to do a little refit of the pipe when we got done. It ended up a little close to the plastic. I call it a little refit, but I dont think Rob would. I think when we got done he told me and this is a direct quote.. "If you touch anything next year, you are on your own". hahahahahaha

jkinzer i would like to change the body panels but its smarter alright to wait until later.

outlaw so do you think this will pass to rob's standards. at least he will have a clean sled to work on. can't wait to see it put back together. almost forgot how it all goes together.
great to hear your feeling better, i have to get up and see your sled soon. just busy doing side jobs to make install money for rob. hahahaha

Did you get mod rods vents? I might still have the templates I made from when I cut mine out. I made them out of masonite. Then did a light rivet on so basically I could cut them like using a router. Excpet I used a dremmel.

Got a little more done tonight. Started installing vent kits and putting gas tank with seat back on.

Won't be long now, going to work on hood and headlight tomorrow.
Let me know what you guys think so far.....
