Crashed 1979 Chrysler Sno-Runner 2nd Chance At Life 

Back in the 80’s, a friend had on of these in his garage. We tore it apart and strapped the engine in a western auto go cart. It wouldn’t burn the tires, but if you had a long enough stretch of pavement, I swear it would go 60 mph. We rode it until someone got hurt and the kids dad made us take it apart. Ahhhhh….. good times. Peace.

Mustie looks like a child with a big ole smile on his face while riding his toy. I love it. Good wholesome fun.

Nothing better on a Sunday afternoon than watching a mustie1 video with my daughter greetings from Belgium 🇧🇪

Good afternoon fellow Mustie1 fans everywhere, from Lincolnshire, UK 🇬🇧, time for a cup of tea 🫖 and a video.

Good night from Brisbane Australia.

Good afternoon Mustie fans from Liverpool.👍🔧🇬🇧

Beautiful spring morning in North Carolina farm country, time for coffee with Mustie and friends.

you collect some of the coolest vintage stuff! just things that no one seems to have around anymore

Now showing in this theater ' Mustie, Bladerunner 2, winter edition' an action packed epic featuring the man himself . Produced in co-operation with MadMax vehicles, the doors and a local medical center.

"Mustie The Horse Power Whisperer" Good afternoon from Wrexham North Wales *UK* 🤠💪-🐴power !

Came for the Sno-Runner, got a bonus happy doggo in the snow!!!

Good to see it running! Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦

This video and the previous one about that vehicle was particularly enjoyable, thank you! I´m really hoping to see the Ski-Doo again getting finished.

Outstanding and awesome as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along

Glad you revisited this one!

Good morning from Canada ! I get my Mustie 1 fix at 6AM every Sunday morning, and it's a great start to my Sunday, every time ! No snow here in Winnipeg, very little this year.

you are a national treasure, love these vids, thank you

Priceless. The fun at the end, with the quad and Lola - smart dog - and the snow. Brilliant as ever.

Coffee in the morning Tea in the evening. Perfect for me.

Love to see this machine again. Looks like great fun.

Hi D. I’m really glad to see that going again!! I was really bummed out when it broke last time. That really looks like a lot of fun to ride. Awesome video as always!!! Darren

Watched the first episodes, was intriguing, looking forward to this session.

Good morning from Massachusetts USA 🇺🇸. Thanks for another awesome video Mustie !

Sunday mornings Coffee and Mustie. Never disappoints or grows old. San Antonio, Texas. No snow here and loving it.

Great job Darren,looks like a fun project ,glad you got it done..

Looked like it had a chain tentioner by that stud and hole

Good Mornin' Mr. Mustie! Thanks for another good one!

Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing

Beautiful morning in Montreal Canada 🇨🇦, but rain later today, long time subscriber.

Thank you for sharing.👍

Great video Thank you for sharing 😀

That was fun. Thanks for sharing.

That goes really well great video Mustie 👍👌

Great job! That little unit is a real go getter!

Awesome I was wondering if you were going to finish this unit and here you are getting it done thanks for the update and this very enjoyable video six stars brother

Hello from Ireland 🇮🇪 love the videos.

I had the same problem with the chain slack in my snow runner I modified 2 Dodge roller lifters that I had laying around and it worked perfect.

The Mustie1 video I didn't know I needed or expected, that was awesome! I'm so glad you revisited this project and gave it a new lease on life, thought for sure that thing had gone to Sno-Runner heaven. Lucky to find NOS parts I think. Really fun video and the doggy play time at the end was pretty wholesome. Definitely do a joint venture in the future, keep up the great work!

Mustie you should get into racing that thing runs better then the 4 wheeler that was a great video that is a great machine can't wait for next video

Mustie try using a bicycle derailer gear you know the little sprocket and make a chain idler gear for the clutch chain drive . I did that on mine years ago and it worked great.

Enjoyed this update on this snow runner bro. Safe travels. Ken.

Nice to see your family side 😊

Coffee and Mustie 1 in the morning is a great way to start the day.

yay!!! best way to spend a sunday morning!

Cool to see the sno-runner revisited. I completely forgot you busted the skid in the last video on it. Good on you for fixing it up again!

Glad to see this thing is back for round too it a 😎 cool little ride 👍

Watching from NC, good luck with the chain for your snow scratcher!

Remaining young at heart, as long as possible.

St. Louis Missouri Robert. Looks like the most dangerously happy fun any human could experience in our trying times! God Bless you truly. Be My Friend.

Mustie is easily one of the funiest guys to watch wrenching on castoff stuff others would scrap. Another delightful Sunday night episode to watch.

I read a good story on Hagerty automotive history. Lee Iacocca engineered the snow runner. Its flaw was a restrictive exhaust that cut the 8 hp down to seven .

C'mon Mustie your a talented guy you should be able to MacGyver a idler for that thing!

I like that trike your friend has reminds me of the one i had as a kid

Gotta Love it! At the end of the day you're allowed to have fun. Right on!!!

Just something out of the ordinary your friend looks like my step father did 59 years ago, I was shocked when I saw his face my stepdad's name was Jack Sutliff he was also related to the Sutcliff family , both French/Canadian, it was just uncanny.

Fun to ride to school back in the day.

Thanks for getting back to this. I wondered and then I forgot about it, LOL. Although you must have filmed this months ago.

Just started the video. I was thinking okay, let’s make an aluminum rear ski! This thing is awesome!

Good afternoon! Greetings from Luleå, Sweden 🇸🇪

Cool to see a comeback on this.

Good morning everyone back to my childhood watching Mustie attempt again

Wisconsin USA here. Bratwurst omelette, coffee, and Mustie this morning!

Good Day from St. Helens Orygun.....

I have many issues and like yourself Darren i will deal with them another day or when someone qualified deals with them for me. Until then i will use your videos as my therapy sessions

ANTRIM, NORTHERN IRELAND In for the weekly fix of Mustie1. That machine was in terrible condition first (1st) time around. Nice to see it back for resuscitation. Stay safe and enjoy everyone.

Hello from Norway 🇳🇴 😀

U two are like big kids having too much fun 😁😁

Can’t believe how good it works

Starting my day here in Washington state with Musti1 and my coffee. Off to a good start.

I always wanted one of these as they combine my love of weird snow machines and mopeds. (I have a Bolens Hus-Ski 444 which is also a lot of fun )

Oh i had to laugh out load, another Great video Mustie 1. Don, CA.

He always finds the coolest stuff.

I had a thought when you showed the worn off plastic from the broken original track guide. It would be cool if you could configure a hyfax from a modern snowmobile track to work on your new guide. Hyfax are dense plastic "C" shaped sacrificial strips that protect the aluminum rails from contacting the steel lugs in the track. They might provide a much improved life span for your new guide.

Your friend has a nice T4 camper van 👍🇬🇧

Maybe you could put an idler bearing on that stud that’s in the middle of the primary chain , like a rubber pulley with a little bearing in it to keep tension on that chain. Good fun in the snow 😁

Thank you, Mustie, you made my day. In the first video I thought, "You gonna fall bro!", then today I thought this is going be the day, but alas you managed foil Loki and some other gods of fate. Take care, don't want to hear you got hurt. I will hold prayer meetings each Sunday from 1pm to 3pm until you return :-)

There's a hole with a witness mark behind the chain, I'd be tempted to make an idler to fit in there if you can't find another sprocket. That hoop toy! My neighbours kids "had" one, my dog saw it, liked it and stole it! 😂

Good afternoon here from Denmark

The putting around for shits and giggles -part is always fun to watch!😁

Love that little thing, it's like a 2-stroke moped for the snow. If I had an appetite for snow, that would be my kind of vehicle... but I don't like being cold :p

Good morning from Bucks County Pennsylvania! Enjoy the video! Coffee,blueberry muffin and Mustie, doesn’t get much better than that.

Now that was a real Mustie vlog - just like the old days

Triumphant return of the Sno-thingy. I bet they had a 2-story tall machine that squeezed those bearings in place!

Glad to see this back, looks so much fun

Try using a big set of channel locks and squeeze the chain together to stretch the chain. I think there should be a part 3 where Mustie1 puts a V8 on it. lol🤣 Thanks bro great video.

Good day Mustie, I never seen this old style of snow runner before,

Great video, really enjoyed it! I spy a t4 in your friends garage!

There is an empty hole in between the chain. I bet there was a chain tensioner at some point. Then the chain with more slack would be perfect. If not, look at motorized bike chain tensioners.. There will be something you can modify.

The PDF manual is available online for this, FYI. Looks like fun!

Try pulling the clutch, you might be surprised that instead of a bushing it has a needle bearing. Back in the day late 60's we ran our mini bikes, with small B & S engines with the bushing clutches. But our Mc Cullough & West Bend engined mini bikes had to have that style clutch. Because of the high rpm's and extra hp also the heat it had to have a needle bearing to hold up. We would cook a standard mini bike clutch in a hour.

Living on the edge !

Cheers mate

I was saying..."use the chain to rotate the shaft when grinding the shaft"....good to see you're listening....lol

Hello from the Oregon coast! love me some Mustie!

Enjoyed the ride

you are wonderful❤❤❤❤

Is all about the ride/ rewards every project gives Darren back after the time & effort invested. The process ?? Well, is our gain in knowledge & distraction.

you know I was a little teary when I saw you playing with a yellow lab.... I remember....

Cracking old Sno-Ruunner

And one more time we go from 60 something going on 10 keep us all young Darren
