Paul,

Looking good! Glad to see you are making some headway. :dance:

Can't wait to see the finished product.

If you don't want to clearcoat it you can always leave it the way it is and slap some JDX decals on the hood! :lol22:

Looking good Paul! Glad you finally got the paint started. Its goning to put my LF to shame.. :doh:

If you can find some...I would suggest putting tunnel protectors on it before installing the track and suspension. The holes are predrilled in your tunnel so installation is a breeze!! If you cant find NOS Deere ones....a set of Hyfax would do the job.

Got some Hyfax lined up for the tunnel protectors, thanks for the advice Eric. Yes, this should be one shiny sled when completed.. :drool:

It's about time you got that sled painted! :whistle: She does look good. Oh and since it took so long to get painted, someone should be pi$$ing blood if I recall correctly. :lol22:

Tomorrow is my day hopefully. Sled is supposed to be done except for the hood. Pics coming. I hope it looks as good as the one's being recently posted up!! Better news....is that my hillbilly a$$ has the neighbors HEATED garage for the next 2 weeks, so this sled and the T-cat will be getting done!! :letitsnow:

Well-

You may possibly get to ride the Thunder Dave, you will be smiling green and that isnt going to be from being sick. Green with envy that is....... :green: . This sled makes pure horsepower, if it isnt the fastest sled on the pond, then whatever is the fastest isnt much faster that is for sure... :sled:
