Just thought I would share a few pics of my summer project. This one is for my 13 year old boy. The sled cost $40, a parts sled was $50, and about $600 more in other parts, and we have a finished project. Now we just need some snow!

Thanks for the comments. They're a fun sled to work on, and I love the green color with the graphics. Very sharp sleds, and fun to ride too.
We were getting rain last night but it has since turned to snow. We're supposed to get 3-5 total by tomorrow, so it looks like we will get a chance tomorrow to put some miles on. Hopefully they will cancel school, I'll play hooky, and we can ride all day.

Awsome job . That was my first sled to (well after my kitty cat) and funny thing is I still have it . That is my resto project for next summer , I am finishing up a 75 Scorpion Brut now just have a little fiberglass work to do and it is ready to put back together . Can't wait .
