Ira Posted January 28, 2013 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... Edited January 29, 2013 by Ira
Ira Posted January 28, 2013 Author 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...
Ira Posted January 28, 2013 Author 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...
cobraman Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Ira, that trike is bad ! I mean in a good way. Very creative build like we have come to expect from you. Keep em' coming. They are amoung the most entertaining builds to watch.
TooOld Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Awesome ! Love the engine and those four big pipes out the back ! It was worth the wait !
Bartster Posted January 29, 2013 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. Bart
Sixties Sam Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Great work and ingenuity on this beast! Mouse cord headers, rhinestone taillight - genius! Sam
