I know someone who used to build an entire chassis from scratch. Including the bulkhead.

Just a shot in the dark here, but would that be the most interesting man in the world?

I wonder if Steve from Diamond S mfg is a hand builder.... He makes bulkheads, tunnels, hoods, a arms, turbo kits ....... but he dosen't make all the other components like wheels, rails, seats, handle bars, brake rotors,shocks, chain cases, tracks, skis, and sliders, headlights, or bearings......etc
is he a Hand Builder?
Big fawkin' deal. Reid Hedlund and many many many many other riders on the BCSF circuit were "handbuilding" their tube chassis' (bulkhead, tunnel, suspension, etc) hillclimbers as long as 15 yrs ago. I can show u some pics so old that I only have them on hardcopy because that was before digital cameras came out.
Did you hand build your track? How about your gas tank? handlebars? hood? seat? trailing arms? bumpers? these were all things the guys used to "hand build", your sled is more of a stocker than some that were built 15 yrs ago....
Pull your head out of your ass and give it a shake.
I took some pics of my attack angle, I'd load them for you tonight on the other thread.

My uncle hand built a sled 16 years ago, it looked like a goose with such a big bar riser and no windshield, now a lot of sleds look like that.

I need someone to hand build me a track...... 121" x 15 x 1.25".....
If you are serious I can tell you the guy to go and look for. He used to be a factory Ski Doo mechanic in his spare time and built his own hand made tracks. All custom one off paddle designs. They messed around with many different paddle designs, heights, variables heights on each track, pitchs, paddle rake angles, etc, even put some paddles on sideways angles to try and improve sidehilling etc. He was working for Steve Decker on some of the designs as well if I remember correctly.
Man there was some sweet sh!t that came out of that garage...... like a pro mod 370 Arctic Cat oval sled straight piped and revved to 13,500 rpm, man that thing was LOUD when fully spooled!
ahhhh memories - Those were the days.

a guy on snowest built his kid an RMK 120, with a hand made longtrack. one of the coolest sleds I've ever seen...if you didn't notice the 120 on it you would swear it's a regular Gen 2 RMK.
