Shenanigan's

ReThinking! 2 seats side x side, front engine (4 cyl.?)






- OR! 4 wheeler El Camino? Would love to do FWD, Rear IRS (control arms only), That would really be pushing my brain...:gah:

The 4 wheeler?










NOT a sand buggy...

Shenanigans2 (2Peeps) or driver on the left and the engine on the right? Makes for a shorter Trike? And this one you will sit in it, NOT on it...:Coffee: I might have a lead on a Corvair bolt on complete front end. What do you think it will cost me in Ca. for a big bike (Honda) (BMW) with reverse?

 

[TomyJ]

OK! Time to start a newish thread. I have already started another design?

What... Well sort of? I am putting both of these Shenanigan designs together, WHY! you say, well I need another transport and like many of my neighbors and this community which is retired and most of the homes are "Manufactured Homes" and this usually means one side carport maybe 50-60 feet long and 12 feet wide but you still have to switch cars to many times, so it's TomyJ to the rescue heeheehee.

The Trike/drawing will be 8' long and 4'wide sort of golf car size so it also means I can park in my carport sideways... The driver and the engine will be side x side and the old folks like a roof and some sort of a body (wind)(the cold) can take out in summer. Photos to follow...:Coffee:

With my tube frame, engine beside driver, something like this,

This is the style I want...

Looking good , Following your builds

Since this is swap meet find, it needs to go to the machine shop for swingarm bearings and check for wear and tear on the rim threads.:clapping:

 

[TomyJ]

Drawings have started and the plastic frame material is delivered, 1/4 scale will show me the frame in 3D, and again I hope to keep it at 8-9 feet long... And for the record PAPA, I do not like your new format...

-Yeaaaaa!!! WHY? This photo was downloaded from my iPhone to my computer pictures, then downloaded to here...

I am drawing this style, so the wheels will be tucked into the frame for a smaller width, AND hope it does not sacrifice my length, again the inside of my carport width is 11ft, and I need room to walk around, 2ft? See if you can follow my chain of thought. Windshield posts with cross bar, crossbar to start forming the rollbar and roof to rear, and gullwing door on driver side, (Rollbar no helmet needed in Ca.) Oh,Oh,Oh... I just had another idea???

 

[TomyJ]

-WOW! I downloaded this photo from Pinterest to my computer pictures then to TrikeTalk and it worked! Anyway this other idea is a turntable, re-designed, is what I was thinking to use for turning my RT 90 degrees (180) the push straight to the wall for more room??? Sometimes I surprise myself... (is there a smiley for patting myself on the back)

-My wife tells me I think to much...

Just looking at your thread and had some thoughts about the side by side driver/engine arrangement. Have you looked at Dwarf Car engine setups with a Goldwing rear wheel/swingarm assembly? Goldwing swingarms are usually available as leftovers from trike conversions and the Dwarf Car coupling opens up your engine options. You could even go water cooled for a little cabin heat on those chilly days.

RT Lift
RT Lift and Swivel Maybe! I can put swivel casters under this???​

 

[TomyJ]

Add swivel casters, foot operated, or maybe like scissor jack, table size to fit the RT. And yes I went into PAPACAD.com-cool-
