Well, today I stripped down the mongrel chassis, looks scary. Please excuse the large picture files, I am still trying to figure out how to reduce them.

Hus Ski Mutt/rat rod Restoration
Well, I am starting the restoration on the Mutt Hus Ski I bought last year. After a trip out to see Jeff, I have most of the parts I'll need. I hope! Here are a few before pics.

Re: 400 restoration project
First, there are no holes, the edge sticks out past the cleats more than an inch, and past the fender/body by about an inch. Whoever made the tracks cut it with something, as I can see some uneven spots, the other edge, inside, has a smoother cut. They also used two pieces for each length, as there ...

Re: 400 restoration project
Barrie, what is the best way to cut the track belting on a Hus Ski? I have a 444 with a Hirth 300 sticking up thru the hood, the tracks are too wide and I need to take about an inch off each side. Then I will be working to restore this to an actual 444.

cutting track
Can anyone tell me the best way to trim the track belts. The prior owner used belts that stick out over an inch on each side of my Mongrel 444.

Re: My New to Me Diablo
I'm in a different camp. I saw a Diablo as a teenager. Bought a Hus Ski when I got out of the Army in '71. Gave it to my dad when I went back in the Army in'74. Then, 6 years ago, bought a diablo, and last year a Hus Ski.

Re: Diablos posessed by the devil himself!
My Diablo has been possessed for the last 2 years. After resurrecting a 503 that had been sitting under a pine tree for 40 years, I, in my infinite spare time (only working 60 hour weeks) completely restored/rebuilt it. I had it running, and proudly posted on here. Then it quit running, I worked on ...

Re: Not enough snow
These things all jump like that, not like a modern machine at 50 or 60 mph.
