Brut-itis seems to be a common ailment with Rupp guys, I have five of them at the moment. One is a 75 340 twin, one is a 290 twin, one is a 75 440 triple, and two 73 440 triples. I don't know just exactly how it happened, they just seemed to end up in my garage.

They are a neat machine for their time, even tho it makes me wonder what they were thinking of putting out a muscle sled that looked great, with an involute, windlowless track with a rear skid with no hyfax. WTF? Something about steel rails on the inside of a rubber track that doesn't even have a hole to let snow in to cool it down.

looks like a GREAT project!! With some practice,you can be just as good as the body shop. Practice,practice,practice. Once you get the hang of it,it's actually EASY!! Is that the sled you were hauling out at Princeton? Scorpion next on the list,metal flake red?
