I certainly hope these come out. *Here is my project right now. *Just got it back from the paint shop and put my decals on, now it's back to the paint shop for a clear coat. *Just wish I could get ahold of an original blue windshield. * How does it look to you guys?

Looking good!! So thats what a 69 looks like. I had one about 20 years ago. Somebody gave it to me and I parted it out. Kevin

Looks super. What did it cost to paint and did it need any repairs?

It didn't cost me anything for the paint or the clear coat due to the fact I have sent alot of my companies work trucks down to a collision shop, he did it for free and he is also going to do the dash plate and the gas tank too. *The decals I found at an old dealer in Milan,MI, Bob's Arctic Cat, they cost $50 and the dash decals cost me another $50. *I found a good man in South Dakota that has all the replacement parts I need except for the windshield, he won't sell the one he has. *As far as repairs, I only needed to replace a bent front bumper. *I bent it when I was 4 years old up against a tree. *My dad bought this sled new in 69 and it has been sitting since 77. *I am replacing the engine with a 372 JLO and unfortunately the seat w/leopard print is unrepairable so the guy in SD has a NOS black seat cover in the box he is selling me.

I don't think she wants to be in the snow anymore. Unloaded it off the trailer at the cabin and went to run it into the shed and got 1 foot and it sheared the teeth off the drive cogs. UGGGGGGG

Hey hey now.... I got a 70 399 That didn't go too bad, I've got it in the grey below because my piston rind end gaps were measurable in tenths instead of thousandths.
BTW Glock, how's your drive clutch on that thing? I've got a '69 for a spare for my 70. Built like a tank, it's in better shape than my salsbury but I like the sals better.
