[mikes99ss]

I have a chance to buy this Rev chassis sled pretty cheap so my question is....Is this repairable?

Have the guys at lando Rec look at pic because I know they have straightened a few in there time but that one looks pretty twicked

there is a alphabet of modules that need replacing if that one is bent that far.
how much do you enjoy drilling and riveting ?

Nun,bulkhead, and frame pull. I used a large slide hammer, but you can take it to a frame shop.

I have straightened that type of damage a few times. Yes some parts will need to be replaced, most are available used if you want to go that route. I have a frame rack built specifically for sleds. Most car body shops will not touch it, too much liability and not worth tying up their rack for non-insurance work. I am located near Grand Rapids Mi. so a hundred miles south of you. I would be happy to answer any questions you have.

All you can do is try . Some how tie down sled . Hook up come along . start pulling out the damage . Use measurements off undamaged sled . Hammer and dolly damage as your pulling . Aluminium likes to crack when repairing . You can reinforce the cracks with same guage aluminium sheets ,cut to size . Use rivets and structure adhesive to attach reinforcement pieces . You have nothing to lose .

FYI, Four Seasons has been around as long as this 52 year old guy can remember, started with small engines and grew, very reliable in all my dealings! ( I didnt know they would do that to sleds though)

I have repaired the same damage myself using 2 cum along and once straighten making a gusset piece to bolt to that area. Pulled out fairly easy.

Not sure where kingsford is. But it must be way up in the UP to be 500 miles away. Worth a answer to your question though.
