The Rebuild Begins
Well the new bulk head/tunnel showed up today so the build begins. stripped most of the damaged crap off the old chassis, will pull the motor this weekend and install a fresh top end. then time for the FTX drop n roll! and Better boards and better bars, then time for powder coat, and re-assembly with the timbersled front and rear suspensions and new ice age rails, going to top it off with a new FTX carbon fiber iqr/raw hybrid hood wrapped in one of Jordan's new designs for 2011, and lots and lots of XXX MOD ROD VENTS. will post progress pics over the next couple months.

got busy last week and didnt get much done.. but pulled the motor and pretty well stripped my old chassis tonight. just have to finish removing the motor mounts and i will be done with the tear down. as long as nothing comes up hoping to get the drop n roll installed this weekend and get my tunnel dump exhaust hole cut so i can get the tunnel off for powder coating. here's a couple more pics Last pic is the mag side motor strap broken in half again in the same spot... (thats my third one!)

okay... its been awhile but the build is starting to take shape. Got the better boards installed last week and all the parts and pieces are being powdercoated now and should be done by the first part of next week! Put a fresh top end in today and cleaned up the motor. here a few more pics
used a plasma cutter and a 3" cut off wheel, made for quick work of the running boards

Was suprised to see how good the pistons looked. right around 1700-1800 miles on this top end at 10-12lbs of boost with half of a day at 19lbs of boost
      this proves that the polaris dual ring pistons have no problem holding up to boost, there were many doubters at the beginning of last season
