Wade, I like that custom side vent on the hood. I've never seen that before.

thanks guys , its not a dryer vent , this was a one off etd race only option that leaked out of horicon !! , just kidding its a dryer vent , ive got a hood painted to put on it but the more I look at it I think changing it out would cancel out whatever history the sled has ,good or bad, obviously it was someones hotrod for that to be on there at all more to come wade

Sigh... I was allright with a dryer vent mod. Those types of adaptions gives the sled some soul. It was the mop bucket next to your sled that had me concerned. Hee hee

Wade,

Cool sled, I dig the ski spreaders and dual shocks. Is this your new secret I-500 weapon?
