Well its not that vintage but im trying to fix up and 89 polris 400(broken driveshaft)..and a 82 citation 4500

Not sure if it will need a resto, but I am on a sled hunt for my very first sled, a 1977 Cat Lynx 295. When my dad sold it with 7000+ miles, the only things we replaced were carbites and a windscreen that our dog cracked.

After I get my stuff done on my 2005 mxzx 800ho, I need to get my:
1. 91 Mach 1 back together,
2. then work on my 1979 blizzard 7500+
3. then get that 70 OLY running correctly.......
4. then clean up my 65 OLY

76 El Tigre' 4000,as soon as the 79 Tigre' 5000 is back together

Well it's not a sled but last winter I restored a 72 ski-boose, I know where the mate is so I think I will buy it and restore it also.

Working on a basket case 73 Panther 440. The previous owner took most of it apart. Just finished rebuilding the engine and carb. Waiting for new points and praying it runs.

Next is polishing up the tunnel and belly pan. Hood is in OK shape for now.

I'm working on a 74 Thnunderjet :div20: that I rescued form a fifteen year stay in a chicken coop. These things were unbeleivably small and light, with short aluminum skis that were very fragile. Anyone know of a replacement track for one of these?

A buddy of mine has a 74 thunderjet, still in original shape ,he has the 340 and 440 hoods and motors. I've been trying to get it out of him with no luck so far, I have first offer, if he changes his mind. :div20:

78 Polaris TXL, 78 Ski-Doo RV

Thanks Mod, I need a door for the tunnel console.

76 Cross Country Cat is next in line. I have 2 to put into 1. :beerchug:

1959 Flexible Flyer. Had a run in last year that involved the sled, 4 Gennessee Cream Ales, and the back bumper/tailpipe of a Ford Taurus wagon. I'm okay, other than a circular mark on my head that looks deceptively like the Taurus exhaust pipe. I bent up a runner as well....

Anyone have pics of what they are trying to restore?here are mine

Can you post a picture of the mark on your head?

Working on a 1970 Panther with 295 Kohler.

Another 1975 Sno*Jet SST F/A. This ones a 440. I'm taking the 340 F/A to a vintage show/swap this weekend in Milbank, S. Dakota. Should be a blast !!
Freeairs !! THE ONLY WAY TO FLY !!!

First vintage project is to finish the scorpion. I just need to assemble it. I have finished gelcoating the hood, and painting the tunnel. This is a one of a kind sled from what I can tell. Silver is the correct and original color. It has been in the family since 69, and my first sled that I helped partially distroy :div20:

It is based on a 69 Mach 1 chassis, with a 68 297 Mach II engine/clutch, with chrome skis, licensed as a 70. Basically a R & D machine that was given away in Crosby MN.

That sled is going to look awesome when you are done with it NHSledder. Keep us posted.

Krellheat,
Thanks for the kind words.

I have just started a website with some of my projects listed with some step by step procedures, including the gelcoating of this hood.

My Webpage

More items will be added in the next few weeks. Just posted what is up presently this last week.

That Kat Kutter sure looks nice. The silver color is much better looking on that sled you are restoring.

Website looks good too.

My dad wants a thunderjet, im going to try and find him one next winter. Currently we have his 1973(i think) SST Sno-Jet. It also has 340 decals on it, however it is a 440 with race port and polish, a trued and welded crank, clutching and a bit more. I was told in its day it only lost one race to a Polaris Tx 500, other than that it took out everything from Deere split fires to a polaris 440 set up by racers edge in full race set up with twin pipes and extensive motor work.

So thats this summers vintage project, a seal is gone on the sno-jet so we would like to rebuild it and get it ready for vintage races, rides and shows next year. Doubt well have time for it but we also have a 1969 daulphin at my grandparents farm that needs minor work to be trail ready again :div20:

How old is considered vintage?

Late 80's maybe and earlier

I'm helping restore my 79 olympique its going from oringal to a hard core custom inspired by the ski doo summit

1983 YAMAHAHAHA ENTICER 340 DELUXE, with electric start! the things are all over the place but trying to find a new EXHAUST PIPE has been NON-EXISTANT. there aint any! so i rewelded and hammered and rewelded. I think I'm ready to put it together. any one have NEW PIPES????

done with the 72 Chaparral 650 Firebird SS almost done with my 69 Mercury 220. need to do Gas tank, brake pucks(if I can find any), and seat almost done.

You can find the brake pucks at Denniskirk and mfgsupply.com.

:banghead: IM RESTORING A 1980 EL TIGRE 6000 WITH 80% NEW PARTS ON IT . SHOULD BE DONE BY MID- SUMMER 2006 :banana:

Were restoring a 1975 ski-doo olympique . and custom restoring my 1979 ski-doo OLYMPIQUE
I got 3 inches of the frame cut off of the back.
I'm doing it up like its a summit
I'm getting the seat chopped so i can fit a 5 gallon gas jug on the back for thoes long trips.
the skis are orange, the whole suspension is orange, front & rear bunper is orange, and the front shocks are orange. the whole chasse is gloss black and my hood is gloss black with reflective orange orange and yellow decals.

early 70's cheetah 440 and TNT 500.

I'm working on picking up the cheetah in a couple weeks and I need a part to put the tnt back together before I ship it to my uncles house at the lake.

Out at the farm I also have a late 70's Sno-Jet 340 that needs a track and a 1980 Trail Cat that needs TLC.

Before these I had a mid 70's TNT 295 single. That's what I got stuck with after I crashed the old sno-jet into a shored boat lift.

Do you plan on keeping the old engine out of the 79 olyimpique in there ...shell be a slow tank if ya do lol

u should put a 500 fan at least in there, a liquid would be best but will require more work, heat exchanges antfreeze container mounts, lines etc.. thet 340 will be slow and underpowered

As a great man once said
Its not how fast you go its how you do it

So i plan on your keeping it? :banana: ..lol a 340 or something with a long track??]



WE NEED PICTURES WHEN ITS DONE

Any finished products???
