This is the donor sled. Remember my mother in law gave me a super junkie trailer that was rusting away out in a grove, I traded it sight unseen for a barn fresh Sting, which turned out to be a Whip. The Whip came with a real nice shelf bracket/ windshield brace. It had a good 440 JLO, which is currently in the Sting grass dragger, good suspension, and track. but the belly pan was all busted up. Anyhow, it now has 1970 Wheel Horse Safari wide track belly pan,hood,seat,dash,gas tank,and handle bars. The engine is stock Safari (Skidoo Safari). All that shit bolted right on, no problem, but the pipe was a pain to fit. It is in full mock up, and I have been running it around the yard, but it needs to be tore down for paint, decals, and windshield.

It looks like it has the foot brake option?

I was thinking about forgoing the brakes completely (vintage spirit). Remember back in the day the brakes did not work, unless you just fixed them an hour ago.
We often welded a bunch of shit to the wear bars, so we could steer and slide them sideways to stop!
