JDsleds Charity Sled #2

[Matt]

Just something to think about: I would like to do another charity sled, built by the members of JDsleds.com. I've contacted some people about possibly doing the build. I'm open to suggestions for a charity. I think a raffle is a good way to go again, however we would need a non-profit organization to be involved as an organizer for the raffle (this requires permits, depending on the state the org. is registered with). The other option would be to donate it right to the HOF as one of their annual raffle sleds.

I'm bringing this up now so we have time to get it going and together for next winter. I think a '78 Liquifire would make a great candidate, if anyone happens to know of one that is fairly complete, & cheap or could be donated.

This sounds like an awesome idea to me Matt! I'll try to pitch in as much as I can.

Matt,

Once you have the sled, let us know what you need? I will try to help out as well.

Doesn't matter to me if it's 340 or 440, just so it isn't a wreck.

Thanks to everyone for the support - you will be called upon!

I will help any way I can. I vote the money goes to the Hall of Fame. I do thinks the members should be the ones selling the tickets in order
to sell the max possible.

Matt,

Its a pretty good idea. Not sure if I am up for more charity work, I might be able to help you out. Drop me a line at home and I will tell you about a complete, but needs a total resto 78 440 Liquifire that I have...

I'll volunteer to re-build the idlers if needed.

I have an extremely straight 78'440 tunnel/bellypan. It's been setting on sawhorses for 2 years. Obviously I'm not getting around to it. It's yours if you need it. Tom
P.S. Depending on where you do the build...If it's too far away for me to get there,I can send anything up with Don Schmidt. He's usually passing by everywhere from one week to another.

I have seen it, it's just as nice as Tom said. Thought about using it to graft a new bellypan to the CC but would rather see it used as a Charity sled.

ive got a correct 78 motor that came out of the sled i rode a the vc on i had a mill rebuilt on the slelf so i didnt use it i could rebuild it and have it ready , with one of my rebuilt water pumps ! im short carbs though i think wade

Guys,

I'm all for this, but i'm dead against trying to assemble one from a tunnel. It will probably take a mostly complete parts machine to get it together, so i think we are better off starting with an entire sled. Just my $0.02.
