Nice find Wade!

Narrow bumper and glass pan too, well done. I see it has that new "air bearing" technology for the rear idlers.

Good luck with her, and holler if you need a tool box. ABS style Hoods still are not done yet though, sorry. Not sure of the hold up...

Happy Holidays,

I can't wait to see pic's too. Want a pic of the inside of the belly pan to see if it's in "race trim" or has been replaced.

Hello guys.I dont have a camera setup on my computer yet (still in the dark ages) .I could send them to Kenny maybe he could post them for me.I will PM him and see if that would be ok.The belly pan is NOS Not in stalled on machine .The one that is on it is pretty bad.So i am not very up to par on these parts, It is fiberglass, and has little vent areas behind or i guess you would say below the bumper area on the nose of the pan sound right? Thanks Brock

Hello guys. I sent some pics to kenny , hopefully he can get them on here somehow. The belly pan that is on the machine is actually made of ABS .But the NOS one is definately fiberglass.I dont knoww what you mean by race trim? It does have a real narrow bumper.Thanks Brock.

Are there any aluminum panels rivited to the belly pan behind the bumper. Another would be under the chaincase.

Yes there is a piece below the chaincase pocket and a piece on the bottom of the pan between the ski spindles.I was talking to Kenny today and he kinda walked me thru inspecting the machine.It is missing the headlight beazel,front wheels on the runners,but it does have the extra wheel kit between the rear wheels and the center wheels.The track has been replaced.It has a nice seat on it but its off of a cyclone or somthing.So Joe i am gonna need a tool box as well.The guy had the old seat foam lying there with a destroyed cover.I have to go back down there to get the other gas tank and some other stuff he has so i am definatly gonna grab that.But i dont think it was the correct one either because it didnt have a place for the tool box.But i dont know what it looks like anyhow.I have a parts catalog on the way.(WHAT HAVE I GOT MYSELF INTO)LOL Brock
