I sanded it the skis to the bare metal or tried to sand as much rust off as i possibly could and was determined to do this seeing how many peoplepaint there ski's and sles etc.. im pretty happy i did the skis look new and also feel new

Wow I should do that with my doo.

deozpester91 · 08-30-2009, 09:29 PM

all it takes is 30 pieces of sand paper for a dollar a pair of gloves and a hour or two of a great fore arm workout lol end result is nice though i cant lie

A wire wheel and a drill/grinder is enough elbow grease for me!

deozpester91 · 08-31-2009, 11:16 AM

Lol hahah lucky for you i figured out i had a grinder like 3 hours after i finished i was like -.- are you kidding me lol. at least by hand you cant over grind it

TwinsofMLB · 08-31-2009, 03:33 PM

Hmmm... havent checked in for a while since tehre arent many news posts in the sumemr months... and all i can say is ur making nice progress with this sled. glad she runs and moves four you. everythings looks nice on it yet. good luck keep us updated like u have been.

deozpester91 · 09-09-2009, 10:09 PM

Just got the tank sealed turns out the side where i taught it was leaking was perfectyl fine after sanding the whole bottom of the tank to the bare metal that when i found all the holes nothing to major i soldered them all up. Now i need to buy a 1/4 inch fuel line and im set. ill update a pic of it later on to tired now, also figured out i wasent giving the sled enough throttle to make the sled move im hapy everything is in tact and working i hope no one fiddles with it for the next 3 months or w.e it will snow lol

Cool, i think those skis look great. You've inspired me to do that on my ss440!

My 96 XCR · 09-16-2009, 08:34 PM

oh yeah sanding and paint makes a big improvement. that's what i had to do to mine and then re painted it. but after i did the front that way i got smart the second time and took it to the body shop at my dealership and just used the sand blaster lol... but looks good man keep up the good work

Looking good! We have a bunch of old AC's ranging from '70-'77. They are fun to cruise around on.

deozpester91 · 09-17-2009, 07:28 PM

Thanks guys i feel proud of my self rite now lol if u really want apic of the sealead tank ill upload it just college is very time consuming lol

Toadz · 10-08-2009, 12:11 AM

Sure throw it up. I know how time consuming and money consuming college can be!

Btw, hang onto those shocks! They are one of the very few things you can find that say Made in USA!

deozpester91 · 10-08-2009, 12:17 AM

ahahahh yea thats true after i saw that when i was sanding i laughed for a bit

Toadz · 10-08-2009, 06:36 PM

Yea I don't come on this site often. If I was back home where my sled is I'd probably be on more often. I should probably join an Arctic Cat forum so I can find out more about my ZR700.
