Lots of hash marks huh?!
While others like to think outside the box with trikes, I like to just think of my own boxes altogether.
Like the title says, my idea involves a truck cab maybe '29-30's ish, I beam front, hairpin links, etc etc. Out back would be a Harley setup. Throw in some tall white walls and whoo la....freak.
I realize weight is a concern so would probably use a track T fiberglass body from Speedway, aluminum I beams with aluminum drums, steering box, seats/frame and maybe even frame rails (boxed tube). Yeah, might cost a bit, but I can manage.
Where can I find info on tadpole geometry? I'm curious about things like caster, ackerman, front axle width vs. length, cooling etc.. Has anyone built this style before that didn't look like a death trap?
thanks in advance.
