Sled project 2.0

[leech~~]

Just sold the first sled today, starting working on second old beat up one I picked up. 
I normally don't say much about another man's mechanical work. But, when you have to use an old cut off wheel, cut a wrench in half and use 15lbs of metal from your scrap bin instead of running to town for 3 correct size bolts. You probably shouldn't be pulling kids around with a motorized vehicle!   

The guy used old 4" bolts with all that craap for spacers, instead of the 1 1/4" it should have had!

Making them out of polycarbonate sheets. Really expensive but best stuff in freezing temps.
