Guest arni Posted October 18, 2009 Posted October 18, 2009 Something else I am working on,take the front end of this. And mate it to the back end of this. Add a twin turbo engine from a Porsche 959.. And you get this. The forks were too short in the kit,so I made new forks from styrene rod,I added the original kit bottoms.As the joint would be weak I drilled the parts and fitted a 0.6mm brass rod for strength. The finished item. The beetle floorpan was cut down and a new front frame added with Evergreen rod,the original engine cradle was extended with some tube.Wheel spacers were added too. The rolling chassis as of now. More soon.
RodneyBad Posted October 18, 2009 Posted October 18, 2009 Very cool Trike. Can't wait to see how this turns out. Build on.
Guest JamesDE Posted October 18, 2009 Posted October 18, 2009 That is one sick Trike!! I really like the concept on this. Great way of thinking outside the box.
Sixties Sam Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 Cool! Very innovative design. It's gonna need some loooong handlebars!
Guest arni Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 Cheers guys,these idea's just keep coming to me.Cant help it LOL I have the steering sorted..Will show it soon.
george 53 Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 Nige, ya REALLY gotta lay off the Guiness! I THINK it's makein ya think EVEN CRAZIER than usual!!! Maybe a nice cool Miller Ice would calm ya down! But then again, mebbe if ya did that, we wouldn't see these GREAT off the wall builds ya come up with! I've seen a brike like this, but it still ran off'n the V.Dub engine inna back. I gotta feelin the quiet backroads around Belfast WON'T be so quiet once THIS bad boy gets fired up!!!

Guest arni Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 Thanks guys,as you may have guessed I love off the wall subjects.Much as I try to build oob kits,I find it soooooo difficult.LOL George,there is a very nice steam lager from California-I will drink that when doing my Corvette Dave,recently in Belfast I saw a lunatic riding one of those Vietnamese Tuk Tuk's on the road.THAT! could be an interesting project..
