Mike that is an impressive amount of quility work. That machine with 8 25" tires and a T-20 should be unstoppable. Perhaps you should take the finished product to R.I. If you can do it on your own surely they can build an 8x8. Congradulations!

Looks great!!! A machine like that deserves a winch. I can't wait to see how it will sit and move in the water. I don't think anyone has see a machine like that in the water.
Looks good Mike!!!! Can't wait to see a video of that machine at work.
Theres another one of these for sale on e-bay item #300318568600 in Hays Kansas says its a 1972 Attex 400 chief 8x8.

Well spoken I,d say.
Thanks for all the kind words folks....
I started on the engine cover last night. I basically have the lower frame for the engine cover complete, and it's tied into the rear seat mount. In order to incorporate a little more of the original machine into the final product, I'm going to try to keep the old cargo rack on the back, which mounted to the engine cover. I've done a lot of mocking up and balancing parts in mid air to check to see that the final lines don't look all goofy. The pics don't show much, but I'm just posting them as I take them to remind myself exactly what I've done. Pics in the gallery....

So, Big 5 got a paint job and some graphics over the weekend. The camera makes the numbers look a little fuzzy, but they're a bit more crisp in person. Juuuuuust the right amount of overspray.
More pics in My Gallery....

Awesome! Nice work.
Wow, can't wait to see her perform.
Nice
You have made that machine look new again. Great work Mike. Can't wait to see it in a video. What is the plans for the power plant, 4 stroke or 2.
