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.

Gary sent me some vintage sled photos from the Wide Open Wisconsin show and I spotted this sled in one of the photos so I did a little digging and found another photo. As the story goes, the sled was a Kawasaki prototype test sled and was to be destroyed when it had served its purpose, which is why it has DES on the tunnel. Apparently this one…Read More

Kelly, don’t know if he sent you pictures of a Diablo and a Hus-ski sitting next to each other, Good friend/customer of ours, he took first and second for the year of his sleds.

No, they were not in the photo set. Don’t know if you have any but if so, you should post them here. Obviously they were meticulously restored. Always thought the Diablos were really cool. A guy up at the Copper Harbor ride a few years back had one. I was surprised at how well it did in the backcountry. Had no problem staying with the group.

How fun are these!!! I can see why he took home a lot of hardware. These things are perfection. He should be rightly proud of his work. I learned something today,. I didn’t realize that these were both marketed under the Bolens brand. The model names are kind of interesting. “Hus-Ski” might have been a loose reference to the sled dog but my…Read More

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

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.
