Neat Times.
I have the two front axles that I bought that probably were golf cart front axles but never used. Silver bear bought one so we could build a pair of velocars which are in the works but I have the extra axle. Didn't know what to do with it but kept coming back to building a tricar my way.
Lots of brass and leather. Maybe painted and pin striped metal panels. No pedals since it will be used off road at car and bike shows only and then Killer Canuk sends the 1906 Griffon youtube.
Perfect, since I was picturing a big antique looking motor like one of Ricksrides, Gravely motors. Build a solid frame to hold it, moped wheels and tires for it to roll on. Like I said there is little chance that I'll get to heaven.
On the other hand the Indian tricar is coming together like gangbusters. The seat foot rest is on and looks good. When I compared it to the one off Silverbears tricar I had a "What on earth were you thinking when you built that, or were you, moment"? My bro wasn't as kind but closer to the truth. All the parts are cut out for Silverbears foot rest and I'll get his together in a weeks time. We have a few sunny days and I'm trying to get any outside work done while it is like welding and grinding.
Had to change the seat stays where they meet the seat post. When I was using the other gas tank I used a couple of chain stays as seat stays and they worked. Now that I found a photo of the rear end of an Indian that shows all the details I cut the tops off the seat stays and made them straight and moved them in tighter to the rear fender.
Now this tank fits better and looks right. Have to build the oil tank and then I'll try and get it together and take a photo so there is an idea of what it will look like.
Meanwhile I have some tricar plans to make.
