Ira Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) THE QUAD IS DONE!!! The Quad Trike is an Original 4 Cylinder Custom Harley Trike. It started with the Revell 12th scale Torch Chopper Kit. I added an Extra Engine & Scratchbuilt Custom Body, Stretched the frame and Converted it into a 3 Wheeler... The Gastank was Sectioned and the Cyclops Headlight is from Ed Roth's Mysterion. The Handle bars were extended a little more than an inch and the Rear Wheel & Tire are used on the front. The Quad Body is made from Sheet Plastic and two rear Fenders. The Exhaust Pipes are made from aluminum tubing and the Taillight is a Rhinestone. More Coming...

Ira Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 MORE QUAD PHOTOS!!! I used Black Felt to cover the Seat and the Flame Decals are from the Torch Kit. The Air Cleaners are from Replicas & Minatures. The Rear Wheel & Tires are from the Parts Box and the Rear Axle is from an 1/16th scale 1957 Chevy. I used Testors Lime Ice Paint for the Quad. I almost gave up then, I finally found "Quad" Decals, they were in an Olds Aerotech Kit! A Few More Coming... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 QUAD TRIKE!!! I used two 1/25th scale wheels and part of a Star Wars X-Wing Fighter to make the Converter and Transmission for the Two BiG Harley Engines! The Headers were made from the Cord from a Computer Mouse. Last One! That's All Folks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TooOld Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Awesome ! Love the engine and those four big pipes out the back ! It was worth the wait ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartster Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Beautifully designed & built ! I thoroughly enjoyed watching this come together. The only thing l would do is add a circle of BMF to the cam(?) covers to brighten up the lower part of the engine & tie it in with the heads & push rods. The lime ice looks great on this.
