A weekend well spent

400? That is like gold..

yes, WOW! another 400 on the trails.

looks fantastic!!!

Whats everyones opinion about painting the screen mesh on hood and sides black?

I personally like the mesh black, i think it looks way better..

I have been in the "grill" discussion before and here is what I said:

"There is one thing for sure about HUS-SKI and that is that they are inconsistant in many details. I recently found a model 200-A all original with the serial number 40---. Of coarse this falls into no know pattern and must be the result of a worker putting the wrong decal on a 200-A rather than the 400 on the same production line. As far as grills go, I believe that all grills on the 444 should be black. The key word is "should" as I'm sure , as you have mentioned there are several examples of 444 with yellow grill in the hood scoop. The only machines that I regularly say have yellow grills are the SNOWTRAVELLER and the hood scoop on the 400. My reasoning behind this is that the first model was yellow and the HUS-SKI guys had not concidered using another color. While on the 400, the scoop was new and again they probably painted it yellow. The two 400's I have both have yellow grills. From a design sence, I like the black grill."

I think painting the mesh black gives the machine more distinct character. Stands out more. Not like the Hus Ski models don't stand out as they are but a being a Hus Ski fanatic just makes me want to make them shine as much as possible. No matter what you do it will Rock! Great job!

Thanks for your opinions....it will get black grills I can hardly wait to get it together hopefully good progress will be made this weekend
