Right now we're also in the process of finally finishing up a 1970 295 Magnum and a custom 650 Nitro. These projects have been in the works for many years. I'll get pics posted of them when were finished.

I think we've been slowly working on that 650 for about 4 years, in and out of the shop numerous times, Josh didnt post a pic of the track but we narrowed up a FA suspension and also narrowed up a 3 banded track to put under it, alot of work with the cleats, but overall i think it turned out pretty cool, almost the entire machine has just a little bit of custom to it, not much original, but sounds awesome with the custom 72 exhaust. And yes Darren that is a sno sport in the background, that sled is next on the list to restore, once we get the 650 off the bench were putting a new tunnel for the sno sport in its place and as the sno sport gets taken apart and painted we'll be installing the parts on the NOS tunnel, because the tunnel that it has right now is junk.

No the hirth did not come in it, we had the motor from another sled and thought it would be fun to turn the fanner into a fa, man does it sound tough, looking forward to taking it around the driveway next winter, only thing we wanted a dual carb setup but couldnt find one, so if anyone has one please let us know.

I had a 67 Snow Sport. What a hoot. We need to see more of the "Old" sleds" restored. Do you have a 66? dc

We don't have a 66. The only difference between them years is the skis and the gas tank I think. It should be fun to work on. Theres not much to it !!!

I believe the 66 had a horizontal motor. My 67 still had the poly gas tank and still held fuel. They had a SB to replace the tank with metal. It was a fun sled but would rattle your fillings out. dc
