Wanted to share a couple pictures of a cyclone I've been building from a liquifire chassis to run on the snow ovals

Made some more progress today got the steering all in jackshaft and drive axle in

the track i am using is out of a 94 jag 15x121x2.52, i had to remove the center idler and move the drivers inward, its been a pretty straight forward swap,ended up bolting in later 80's indy 6' travle rear skid, other then making four 1/8" cross shaft" spacers i didnt have to redrill any mounting holes , but i did build some front arm adjusters that allow me to move the front of the skid 3' up from the stock front hole location

Here's a few more photos

Was able to get the rear idlers put together and the track tighned up, I picked up an engine sunday, but after tearing it down I found that the crank has spun out of phase from the center pin to the pto stub

LOVE IT! Great progress. Can’t wait to see the final outcome.

Just curious why you went with Implement Green vs. Mean Green? Maybe what you had on hand?

Thanks Jason, your correct on the color at work we had a couple cases of the implimemt green paint out back on stock so that's what I decided to go with lol maybe for next year I may get the chassis powdercoated, I actually prefer the implement green then the brighter mean green, but I may even go with the Elkhart metallic green is my favorite, I picked up the clutches today off an indy to recalibrate , got some stuff done under the hood and went through the carb, also picked up a cyclone seat for it biggest things I lack now is a primer, going the clutches, belt , and hooking up the teather, the snow oval race in coudersport pa is Feb 19th

Actually, the "bright" green you're thinking of was the 78' Cyclones. The 76' and 77' were "Mean Green", which is closer to the Elkhart Green like you mentioned. Although I don't think that's really a true color match. The only one I've found that's the truest to original Mean Green is from VintagePaint.com. Sells it as a single stage. Is what I sprayed on my 76'.
