Yup, some classic freebie bikes yah got there. :-)

Try much as I could, scrap bikes just don't have long enough tube sections to fab something longer... almost gotta buy some cm tube to get the job done. and it's pricey, and so is the freight! well, I'm a real cheapskate!

Good luck!

add forks and headtube from bmx with more steel tube 3/4 keyed axle shaft and pillow block bearings and you get this

Yeah the square tube cost me $75 but worth it would have been much more if I had ordered it due to a $140 shipping charge
 
That is one very solidly made chassis frame. What do you intend to use your trike for? Did you have a particular purpose in mind when you chose the Atomic Zombie design?
 
daily transport
looked at many designs and few had the ability to haul a 25kg sack of dogfood home
the tadpole design just did not meet my needs
 
wheel flanges done
bottom bracket cleaned up ready for its bracket to be made and welded on

Ah, - those are the flanges for the amazing Atomic Zombie tricycle axles. I've heard about those, - I will be very interested to see how these turn out.
 
Very cool. I like the delta cargo trike. Ive got a bunch of their plans just never got around to learning to weld. cant wait to see this build
 
one axle/hub done now it needs some primer and paint

Where did you get the giant washers, I remember when I was looking at those plans I had difficulty finding the washers at a good price.
 
rear wheels laced... not something I want to do everyday thats for sure
