Recently posted pic of antique snow machine

Does anyone recall the recent thread that had photos of a pre-WWII snowmachine? There was a fabric plane in the background, and the caption was something about how the guy's dad restores antique snow-gos?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks, and Happy New Year

Re: Recently posted pic of antique snow machine

No, that's not the same one I was thinking of, although it is pretty neat.

I'm pretty sure the one I'm thinking of was posted within the past month, but I just can't seem to find it. I think it was a thread about rag-and-tube restoration, or ski-flying, and in the foreground had the poster's father on an early sno-go. Located in Maine, perhaps?

I'm hoping to track down a parts source, is the reason.

Maybe you are thinking about the Winter Ski Flying thread on the supercub.org site. A guy had a picture of 1940's sled and t-craft there was some discussion of having four of them, including a white one from WII: http://www.supercub.org/forum/showthread.php?39015-Winter-ski-pics, posts 11, 12, 13.

Happy New Year to you as well.

Thanks!

(BTW, it's a good ski-photo thread too!)

Chet- that's perfect. I know someone restoring a '37 Eliason, who will really appreciate that link. Thanks again.

SuperCub.org??? Dang! Bunch of cool pictures and stuff!! I'm signed up on that forum too, but never visit or look around. I'll have to visit that one more often now.
