Fabcraft
Nemesis P-I
Update:
November 12, 2008
Mike's
sled is truly going to get finished now. We've worked
hard and sent stuff off to be painted and it came back
yesterday!!! So now with some Saturday time we should
see a sled morphing!!
We are doing
another show sled that Mike and Steve are going to have
fun putting together. This will be Mike's sled to ride
and what a ride it's gonna be!! And now, it's a tug
of war between him and Monica to see who's sled gets
done first!
They are doing
another P-I chassis which is based on a Polaris IQ bulkhead
in a 162" length; but they are going to take an
Arctic Cat base 900cc motor with a Cutler 1150cc kit
on it and retrofit it into the bulkhead! It will of
course have all other Fabcraft components, including
our new Fabcraft seat, made specifically for us by R&M.
It will also have a CMX belt drive, and Walker Evans
shocks - front and rear. We are striving for a 230 horsepower,
460 lb sled. Now that's some serious power to weight
ratio !!

The guys
have started on the hardest part first - how to fit
this motor into this chassis!
Steve
has nicknamed it "Dolly". He says it's a lot
like trying to fit Dolly Parton into a training bra
!!!
| Ok,
now that the motor is done, it's time to try to
fit the pipes under the hood. So they've put the
skins on and will work on getting a fit. Wonder
how much pipe cutting and reshaping they're gonna
have to do?!! |
 |
| How
the hell is this gonna work??!!! |
 |
| I
can tell you there was a lot of head scratching
and cutting.....but I think Steve's done it!! |
|
| Here's
a sneak peek at the new color he's chosen. It's
really going to look cool! It has a copper color
to it. He matched it off his Sportsman ATV. |
