As they say, “Close but …..” Notice the Overhead Cables, it’s an Electric Trolley with No Door and No Tracks. The Traffic Light and Date on the Sign are Spot On.

In keeping with Gary’s mindset: Have to love these things. A guy a couple of hours from me in Northern MN is making these custom-made backlit signs. He will put any sled you choose and sign content. Very cool. Thinking this would be a great Christmas present from my wife. Would just have to decide which sled to use.

I like those back lit signs, I have a few large vintage snowmobile scenes framed ones in my living room, my favorite one has a line of vintage sleds coming in on a trail from a ride to a cabin and headlights are lit as well as cabin window and post lights, really cool!

I saw an Ad for these on Marketplace. Very cool! Now if someone would drop a hint to our wives…..

Kelly do you mind sharing his information? I would be interested in purchasing one. I can’t wait on the wife I would never see it.😂

The fellow’s name is Shane Chapman on FB. He lives in Newfolden, MN. He operates his business under his name. You can try sending him a PM referencing his sign products. If he doesn’t respond, let me know and I will contact him and find out the best way to get in touch with him. I have done some business with him on sleds.

A couple of pictures of Color in the last days of September. The first being from the Observation Tower on Timm’s Hill in Wisconsin. The second is the Lake Gogebic area in the Upper Penninsula.

Here’s one of my favorite photos from snowmobiling… There’s a time for riding with your hair on fire, and then there’s other times when you want to connect with nature. This was one of those moments to stop, kill the engine and just listen to the quiet of nature’s outdoors in the winter. Just me, the horse, and the Old Barn in the background.

On the Kawasaki Project:
Yes, work does continue on the project but it’s a fair question to ask: “Why do these projects take so long?” For starters, I think I’m just naturally slow and while shop time can be limited in the summer, probably the better answer is that sometimes there’s just more to a task than meets the eye.Let’s take the lo…Read More

I thought it timely for me to pass along some info regarding the website. We launched a…Read More

Great bit of advice on the Forum feature Gary! By all means people, give it a look. I think you’ll really like how well it will work for discussing specific topics.

For better or worse, this is the initial installment of the build series. I hope you all will find it interesting.
While it isn’t my plan to cover the various builds in any particular chronological order, I thought I should lead with the sled that really kicked the restoration journey into high gear: a 79 TX 340. I bought this sled in the s…Read More

Going back through old photos, I did run across one of it mostly torn down. I don’t remember doing any body glazing on the tunnel but I guess I did.

OK “Shop” people, I need some feedback. A number of you have faithfully followed my various sled build threads over the years on John’s site but there may be some of you that haven’t. For those that have, there may be builds you have missed, builds you may have forgotten, and there are at least a couple that never made their way into any build…Read More

I can honestly say there are no builds that I have forgotten, however the couple that never made it into any of your posts would sure be nice to see, even if just pictures and not any in depth coverage but…. be ready for the questions LOL! revisiting and introducing us to past projects would be cool! I for one am all in!

Brian, I’m thinking your memory is better than mine. You probably remember stuff I don’t. I’m going to have to do some thinking to summarize a project that may have taken several months, or even years, in just a few paragraphs. In addition, there were a few sleds that, while I had the best of intentions of making them a project, it never…Read More

Kelly, later this month my wife and I will be going to the Wide Open Wisconsin show and last year a swear the swap portion of the show had almost doubled in comparison to the year before. I’d like to help you with finding anything you might need for Kawabunga project or anything you might need to ice the cake of other projects you have done. If…Read More

Thanks for the offer Brian. Yes, there is a messaging feature here and it works well. From what I gather, it’s a good show. If I come up with anything you might run across in just passing by a vendor, I’ll let you know. in any case, have fun at the show!
