Hello from Maine

[Tig34]

I got this trike this year and have been working on it all summer!!!
I took the body off it and all the wiring off and sandblasted the frame!!
The motor that came with it need to be rebuilt so I picked up a 1974 bug that was rotted out but had a good motor in it for $300.00 and put that in the trike!!
I am now started doing the wiring got the fuse box in and the ignition all done and some the lights!!!

Here are some of the pics that I have been taking along the way!

Welcome from a Boston native living in Kansas! I just got back from a two-week vacation to Maine / New Hampshire. It felt so good to be "home". In fact, I am now thinking of relocating to Maine next spring. Am I crazy? Definitely.
