Its about detail! 73 bullet

Since this is an every bolt restore I have instilled in the kids the idea of detail.  Its important to focus on the little things so the "big" thing looks awsome.

SkiDoo bodywork

 The boys love the stick wilder.









 Some great bodywork skills were taught here.

 Since the welder is not working we went with a fiberglass repair on the tunnel.  Looks great.
 Stripping the bogie wheels and then off the the sandblaster.
Thanks for the photo Mrs. C.  Its a great shot of our shop.  Everything from plants to vintage 10 speeds with motors on it.  Note the Bob Marley photos in the background.

Mowat's newest club

So unofficially Mowat has a new club.  Last Wednesday the Antique Snowmobile Restoration Club or ASRC was formed.
We are restoring my 1973 Skidoo TNT Silver bullet.  This is a great project for the kids to work on as it is easy to restore.  I'll be keeping the cost as low as possible.

We tore the top end down and next meeting we will remove the seat track and boggie system.  Should be able to get it to the sand plaster early next week.
