Polaris Txl Rush

What was your intended objective when you started the build?

Mate the new rush ride with the ease of the older 3 cylinder performance and the vintage look

What motivated you to start your project?

Always loved the look of the 70s polaris and I wanted the old look with a newer rideable platform.

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

Mating the narrower rush tunnel with the 91 bulkhead. Had to fab aluminum trusses to blend and supply support to make it come together.custom made molds to make the fibreglass pan to fit the Indy chassis and fit the tx hood.

What are you most proud of?

Winning first place at the Waconia ride in show for ultimate builder class and 1st at the great eastern whiteout.The overall look , the ride , it’s a sled that i can jump on and ride like a new one.

What do other people say about your snowmobile?

They can’t believe it was done . They comment on the fine craftsmanship and tell me I have too much time on my hands.
