I just looked at all your pictures....you are having way too much fun as you get started on this project! I love it! Bring on the regular updates

 

[John Luciano]

U really are doing it aren't you looks nice so far. Keep the pictures coming

Did you decide on the Motor and front end yet? Also how long will this take? I am getting sited about it:woohoo:

 

[cra-ze-trikeman]

the motor will be here monday or tuesday its a chevy 350 with auto tranny.. the front end I will build out of 1 in thick plate with some sort of crazy cut out design (undecided) springer front or air bag system with rod end handle bar system. I wanted to use electric actuators to push and pull the forks. but to expensive for this build maybe at a later date...

 

[John Luciano]

Any new pictures yet? Will the interior remain cloth? Also what is the driver seat? I assume the single Bucket from the Camero car .

 

[cra-ze-trikeman]

the motor arrived this morning i finally got all the sheetmetal cut away from the mustang floor pan so i can start building my frame. My seat i have not decided yet on a seat. Maybe a racing seat out of old drag cars we have plenty of those at the shop i work at. I think it would look better with a small motorcycle seat directly over the transmission housing.. Which is the way Ill probably go.. The back seat will remain cloth for a while but will evolve into 2 bucket race seats with shoulder harnessess.

Got some pics of the motor and the sun roof down loaded

WOW! That's some project you have going on there! I'm very interested in seeing this thing complete!

 

[John Luciano]

I hope you didn't give up on the MUS TRIKE. We are all waiting to see it get done.

 

[cra-ze-trikeman]

still working on it in the process of getting my own shop going will find out early next week. SOUTHERN COMFORT CUSTOMS WILL BE BORN....

 

[John Luciano]

No progress on the trike?

 

[cra-ze-trikeman]

yeah a side support that im gonna come off of for the roll cage.. and an alluminum high rise intake manifold (sexy) and custom valve covers and breather will send pics of those after installed on motor. I wasnt able to work on the frame and motor mounts last 2 weeks due to being crowded in my little corner of my bosses shop. working to elliminate that problem now. I do have a problem that I Need some help with.. BRAKES i have a need to stop this 350 cu monster.. My plan was to put the original master cylinder from the mustang in the trunk and run the lines to foot pedals for rear breaks. The question I guess is will there be enough gravity fall in the line to run the front breaks off of same system. Or would that even matter. Or not worry about it at all and go with motorcycle hyd brakes for front... Thanks in advance for your help guys and dolls. later

I would run a master cylinder off the handle bar ala Honda . You are building a whole new front end or using a motorcycle modified.

Still kike front and or rear not combined . Calll Brothers of the 3rd wheel .
