1969 Evinrude Skeeter

What was your intended objective when you started the build?

To make a snowmobile look like Tow-Mater from Cars

What motivated you to start your project?

Hauling the Evinrudes home, my ex brother in law said the from of the 69’s had the shape of tow-mater from the cars movie. That sent my mind racing.

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

I think the most unique part was cutting the headlight pod from the build sled, and cutting the headlight pod from the parts sled, and molding them both on to the build sled hood to make it have dual headlights with a hole in the middle like it was missing its hood like Tow Mater had from Cars

What are you most proud of?

I am most proud of the overall build all together.

What do other people say about your snowmobile?

I had a ton of compliments on the build. It was shared all over Facebook on all kinds of different pages. There were even people trying to take credit for building it! LOL
