My next silly project with my students

[MuddyPaws]

So I needed a project to work on with my freshmen tech ed students. Soooooo....

We are going to mate this...

2001 Polaris 440 Snowmobile Engine



To this....

Unknown Year Honda Odesey...sorta



What's funny is that I traded this for it: :tonka:

[MuddyPaws]

Anyone know if anyone has cut one of these in half to make it a side by side 2 seater?

Honda Odyssey's are freakin sweet. I love tearin it up in the mud and on the trails with mine.

[clarkstoncracker]

How long of a build is this going to be?

[MuddyPaws]

I dunno...I would like these kids to finish it before the end of the school year.

[MuddyPaws]

Anyone have a link to any suspension mod sites? Been searching just not finding....

[junk90xj]

I might be putting a project together that your kids would have a ball doing . Do they charge for services ?.

[MuddyPaws]

All we charge is for parts and a small shop fee.

The other part of the problem is dragging all the crap to your side of the world.

Actually I should be taking ownership of a v6 powerplant for my jeep ....and my garage is packed to the gills with a bunch of other "stuff" so it's gonna be a fair weather driveway project.

How far away from Michigan Tech are you? I would love to stop by when I am up there and check out your projects. I wish they had classes like that in college.

[MuddyPaws]

Long way....

Tim they showed something similar, on Monster Garage Backyard Monsters. It was a college or Tech school that built it and competed in a competition between schools. Maybe Check out the shows website and see if you can get contact info for the school or compettion.

The track is going to be quite a bit wider. The front and rear will be converted to a-arms and coil-overs.
