1970 NORWAY / NORTHWAY SNOWMOBILE RESTORATION PROJECT.
ANDY TAYLOR'S PROJECT - FEB - MAY 2007
THIS IS WHAT I DRAGGED INTO THE GARAGE IN FEBUARY. NOT REALLY MUCH TO START WITH.

ANDY TAYLOR WHO WORKED AT NORTHWAY SNOWMOBILES IN THE 70'S,
HAS DONE IT AGAIN. THIS TIME, ANDY HAS RESTORED A 1970 NORWAY.
FROM 2007
Hi David - A 1970 NORWAY SNOWMOBILE.
Norway was the name chosen by Northway founder Stan McRobert.
A few of these sleds were built with this name and released
to the press in 1970 but never sold with this name.
The name was changed to Northway after a discussion with his wife and son at the dinner table.
The Northway name came from the Adirondack Northway and was similar to
Northway except for the The ( TH ) Difference in Northway and Norway.
This sled was built by Norway and has no Serial Number.
It was Owned by Lewis C. Crowe who later on became
president of Northway Recreational Vehicles.
It was Donated to me by his daughter and she asked me
if I could restore this sled in her fathers memory.
It is now the Called the Lewis C. Crowe Memorial sled. ANDY TAYLOR

I TOOK REFERENCE PICS OF THE STICKERS ON THE CAB BEFORE STRIPING IT.
THEN THE USUAL FIBERGLASS REPAIR. FINISHING AND PAINTING.
I ALWAYS DO THE CAB FIRST. THAT ENCOURAGES ME TO DO THE REST.

THE ENGINE RAN SO I DID NOT TAKE THE BASE APART.
ALL PARTS ARE PRESSURE WASHED. THEN SANDBLASTED AND
CLEARCOATED. ENGINE GETS POINTS AND TIMING BEFORE REASSEMBLY.

THE FRAME GETS AN SOS AND ACID WASH.THEN THE BUFFING STARTS.
WHAT A DIRTY JOB BUT YOU GOTTA LOVE THAT SHINE.

THE BELLY PAN IS REPAIRED AND PAINTED.

SKIS AND ALL OTHER PARTS ARE SANDBLASTED AND PAINTED.
THEN SET ASIDE FOR ASSEMBLY LATER.

ASSEMBLY STARTS

MAKING THE BELT GUARD, I USE A WIRE MESH TO MAKE THE FORM THEN FIBERGLASS BOTH
SIDES OF IT, THEN FINISH AND PAINT IT. THE BELT GUARD WAS MADE AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE
TO THE ORIGINAL PART USING PICTURES AND A PARTS CATALOGUE TO COPY IT.

STARTING TO SHAPE UP.
THIS PIC WAS TAKEN APRIL 7TH, 2007.
45 DAYS NOW SINCE I STARTED.

IF YOU MAKE YOUR OWN WINDSHEILD IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO MAKE A
PAPER MODEL FIRST. PAPER IS CHEAP WINDSHEILD LEXAN IS NOT.

MAKING THE SEAT. THEN I WIRE IT FOR LIGHTS BEFORE GETTING THE COVER MADE.
THE COVER IS THE ONLY PART I WILL NOT DO MYSELF.

THE (WOOD) LOL.
TRIM IS CUT AND NSTALLED.

THE WINDSHEILD IS CUT AND INSTALLED ALONG WITH ALL THE OTHER CAB TRIM.

THE SERIAL NUMBER PLATE HAS NO SERIAL NUMBER.
A FEW OF THESE SLEDS WERE BUILT FOR PROMOTIONAL PURPOSES WITH
THE NORWAY NAME BEFORE BEING CHANGED TO NORTHWAY.

THE DECALS ARE FINALLY DONE AND INSTALLED.
