Since i lost my Cross-Country to Tom Otte i decided to pursue another. With a little help from my Friends we were able to locate a future project sled. She is pretty rough but i,ve actually seen worse. Sled is registered to a RJ Carlson through a dealer from Luck Wisconson. Notice all the bundgy cords on this sled. Anybody have a donar 78 parts sled?
Anybody know who RJ Carlson is? Special thanks to Craig for locating this sled

I think I'm going to try and find Tom Otte's 295/S next. I heard its somewhere in Indiana. Any hints?

Chuck,

I can't believe your luck, nice job. You have a sled owned by the man himself. Only thing better than that would be the real #54.

I do have a few NOS parts for the 78's I could bring with me in November to help the cause. I could really use another Dator tunnel to complete one of my projects. (hint-hint)

I will really have to dig, but I know I have NOS ski springs, chain case, bar pads, radiator strap, complete driven clutch, and a bunch more NOS and used parts like the dash and vent panel, etc. How much of this sled to you really have?

Talk to you later, Liquidator!
-Joe

Thanks Jon for clearing that up.

Joe. Thanks for the offer and i will take all the parts i can get my hands on . This sled has nothing left.

Also a Thanks to everybody that has sent me e-mails or phone calls wanting to help. You guys are the greatest. What i really need is a good 78 Liquifire donar sled with a straight pan. Also need the cross-country suspension which will be impossable to find but a guys gotta try.

Thanks for all the support.

Chuck, Your comment "Also need the cross-country suspension which will be imposable to find but a guys gotta try".

I guess<big> I</big> would have to disagree with that statement, What do you have to trade or whats one worth to you??
