Looks COOL so far.

Thanks, as you all know it's been raining in Texas, but We had a few days of dry last week …. so I did a little to the frame I bought. …. Some photos below ….

​

A bit Rusty but, for $100 it was in My price range …..



So I removed the tank, in fair shape Has a small dent that I need to fix …. Then a painted the frame with Rust killer …..

Thanks for the Welcome …. I'll continue this over in My Three Legged Horsie thread …..

Hi Gerry! Welcome to TrikeTalk from west Texas! Always happy to have another Texas on board! Best of luck with your trike build.

Sorry for not getting back to you, I had many problems with My Mother, and had to take care of her .... that took up all my time, but a man got to do what he has to do .... I've made some purchases, and working on moving forward with my build, I also bought a VW Trike from the '70 's with fiberglass body. Neither of these will run at current moment. I bought a Corvair, needs motor overhaul and a trike frame .... for the Corvair motor.

Welcome aboard Gerry :wave4: always nice to have another fellow Texan join us :clapping: keep us posted on how your project is going...looking forward to seeing you around soon

I need to learn how to drive this forum, sorry for the delay, Family illness .... I have purchased a Corvair to go with that frame, I bought and some Cat Squashers for the rear tires, Working on motor removal from Car, and have been studying rotation problem .... Soon as cooler weather gets here I'll jerk that motor out of the Corvair ....

That's going to be one fine looking ride.ThumbUp

Thanks Man I can hardly wait .... Family illness set Me back .... I now own two broken trikes .... but I'll get them going .... It's my dream since before the War ....

 

[Trike-Man]

Welcome from Missouri & good luck with your build!

Your braver than I am.

Thanks gon'na need it .... I made some progress but lots of water has gone under that bridge, had some Family that needed Me, so now I'm getting started back plus I bought a worn out VW Trike fro the seventies, looks like a Ed Roth, somewhat .... anyway, my troubles are past, The Doctors scared me into thinking I was going home 2 years ago. But that was misdiagnosed, Purdy hot in Texas, gonna have to find a shade tree ....

 

[Trike-Man]

:wave4:Welcome from Montana. Looks like you're building one wild trike. Good luck & keep posting pic's:wave4::wave4:

Thanks, I've been gone awhile, many hardships in the last few years, but My family troubles have subsided a bit. I made some progress, I suppose the Corvair is up on Blocks and painted the other frame. I bought another Trike, I'll do a post on it soon ....

 

[Trike-Man]

Welcome from North Ga. :wave4:

Thanks, I'm Back .... Troubles have subsided a bit ... Now I own two Trikes in non-running order ...

 

[Trike-Man]

Might be a problem but both My trike frame have serial number, My VW Trike has a serial number and a title, which I've already, transferred the title, the other trike frame when you run the serial number comes back as a motorcycle, so both should title as motorcycles ...
