1997 Arctic Cat EXT

What was your intended objective when you started the build?

To build an awsome looking sled that no one else has

What motivated you to start your project?

Years ago watching powermods on YouTube building their crazy mod sleds and thought, hey, why cant I do that?

What was the most unique and creative thing you did to the sled?

Probably the rear tunnel extension going from a square tunnel off the 97 into a tapered tunnel from a 2012 snopro

What are you most proud of?

The fact that I’ve done everything up to this point on my own and overcoming all the challenges associated with the build

What do other people say about your sled?

They at first thought it was a dumb idea, taking a old sled and trying to improve it, but as it gets closer and closer to being finished they start realizing how cool this thing actually is going to be
