Snowmobiling blues...

I got a smokin deal on mine. My coworker bought a flipper house. He came into work knowing I like anything with a motor. Said he has a shed in the back yard with 6 motorcycles and a sno runner "what ever that is he said". Asked me if I wanted to buy it all. I gave him $500 for all of it.

Out of the collection there was a first year Gold Wing, 2 Honda dirt bikes from the 70's, a yamaha 90 (which I wish I would of kept). and 2 other Honda street bikes from the early 80's, plus the sno runner. I ended up selling all of the bikes for $1800 and kept the sno runner. The rest of the money paid for NOS parts for the sno runner.

I stripped the paint off of the frame, which is all aluminum and repainted it, but I think Im going to send it in for powder coating. The paint just isnt holding on that well.
I wonder if it would be worth it once it's taken down to the frame to have some extra aluminum gussets and a small bit of reinforcement work done to it because of the aluminum?
