    Pics of the 650 with it's hood all finished up and installed.  Painted original factory glass: both the hood and pan, with factory drilled holes.

    I color sanded and buffed, stickers applied, original triple tach, hood hinges and push pins, good original hood vent, original hood extrusions detailed with new reflective strip, correct NOS kill tether, correct hood wiring harness that I made, new Polaris side emblems, hood tether, correct black/white splatter paint on inside of hood.























    Hard to find original fuel cap.
























    Finished 650 sitting next to my recently acquired 69 Panther P35H crosscountry sled.

    Thanks guys.  Now that these are done, I just need some inspiration to get going on the next project.  I"ve got the "start of the summer, not thinking of sleds" lull in full force!

    Unbelievable build quality. Nice job! '73 starfire triple has always been at the top of my dream sled list, thanks for doing such a great job and reinforcing why they are the sexiest sled ever made. 8)

    Phil;

    Congradulations on 2 more fabulous restorations  They are truly pieces of Art.  Your attention to detail and Correctness is amazing.

    How do you do a P35H Panther after doing the 3 Starfires ?
