‘57 Chevy trike

[triharder]

Hi Guys,

Mark from Brisbane Australia.

Will build a trike next year I reckon, have built sports cars of my own designs before from absolute scratch so know what I'm up against.

Toying in 3D at the moment with a '57 Chev type layout but also have a reverse trike sports car.

Let you know when I get started ...

Welcome to Trike Talk.......ThumbUp
Boss Hoss has a kit ''57 Chevy'', It might give you a few more ideas. :Shrug:

Your reverse trike resembles the Polaris Slingshot, to some degree.
For what its worth, I like the 57 style you drew up...ThumbUp

Welcome aboard. I like the first drawings with the single tire up front. Looks alot like the Stallion Trike over here. WAY COOL

Your reverse trike resembles the Polaris Slingshot, to some degree.

I see what you mean but I did draw that up in the middle of 2013 way before the Slingshot was known and uses a front wheel drive transverse engine unit driving the fronts with dead rear wheel so no drifting action (other than the handbrake!).

The '57 did have inspiration from the Stallion but I wanted a little more 'cool'. Unlike the Stallion it would use also a FWD transverse unit but up the rear, probably a 2.0 and auto trans such as the Tour Oz Trike does (a Peugeot 2.0 auto in their case) ...
