The light was right, the snow was decent, I worked the angles. That sled was sold last year, gone now. I had a blast dooing it, enjoyed having it. Will always miss it. First year of the black stripe. I had a beauty for a while but then let it go.

I resize my images in photoshop. For horizontals I set the width at 5 inches, the height will set automatically. For verticals I set the height at 4 inches. I like those dimensions. I think they make for a comfortable presentation on the board and they fit well when inserted into the body of an email.

If you remotely host the pictures just like the old site required it shows up bigger than when you attach it on this site. If you attach it here you are still limited to the max size of the picture. Nowadays most peoples cameras make pictures that are bigger than 1mb so you likely have to resize no matter what you wanna do.

Eric, don't know if that 66 has been run. Curious story with that fella. We hit off big time, he bought three sleds from me and wanted more. We were set to meet at the NH swap last year to hand off the restored Rotax 775 that I have (last of the three amigos). I brought the engine, he didn't show. On the way home his wife texted me...he was intensive care ! She texted me about a month later that he was getting out of the hospital. I have no idea what happened to him. I've made multiple multiple attempts to contact him since but have not heard back. I have finally given up. Very curious. Hope he is okay, really nice guy

The sign came from Mosport race track. It was on the pit walls for advertising. You can get one thats a lot smaller and chrome from a old subway but that might be illegal and i wouldnt recommend it during peak hours. By the sounds of it they only made one in this size as it wasnt for dealers. All the signs on the pit wall where the exact same size so maybe made locally? Came from the old race director from the track in the 80s. Its cast aluminium so would be easy to copy but that would take all the fun out of it.

SO HOW YA MAKING THE PIC LARGER? THINK I GOT IT? ERICR GIVING IT HE%% USED IMGUR. YETI Holy chit! Back April 2012 I think. That blue paint on the 300 engine took two cans of oven cleaner then baking soda blasting to get it off! They used some two part primer under that what looks like Ford blue paint! Did a tear down and seals, bearings, rings etc were all good. Got a better frame for her, that one is so rusty it has punched the spindles etc up an inch and the track is falling apart. Just needs time like any thing else. The 247 you see on the tail gate in front of her got fresh crank bearings, a good used stator from another mill, replaced the broken ring with a ring from another piston, and now it lives in the Elan posted in the elan board! The 350 powered S10 hasn't been on the road in a couple years.
