Fun project to watch.

opcorn: opcorn: eventually, we all will probably be going that way. ( trike ) I like the front steer idea a lot better. The CanAms sure look cool, and safe. Do you know what front end is on it as well as the cowling?? I hope you're feeling better.
OP

im starting to do better eric thanks ...as for the front end its a vw bug ....the cowling on front is is all custom made ...it is all done mostly in thin plywood and glass covered ...it all hand made and extremely well styled to me
That could turn into a very cool ride, right there. Hope it's there at the meet when we arrive, I"d love to eyeball that baby and take some notes. :smilie_happy:

Joe has talked me into letting him try a 1000 rack on her. I was working on the Holly/Webber progressive two barrel setup, but as Joe implied earlier we got thrown out of our work space afore I could finish her.

bad news on the trike ...
the front cylinder on this side is dead no pus of air what so ever ... all the others had something ... motor was generaly free ... put oil in all cylinders and spayed around it was tight at first but freed right up ... then when turned with starter front had no push
the working on this is rather good

that don't sound good.....joe does that trike use a stock vw steering gearbox mounted in center of front end ? I've had three vw's but I can't remember if that is the stock location or not, is it?

Start it up on 3 Joe so you can take it for a spin.
I'd like to see more pics of this front end.

I guess from here all I can do is take head off and see whats up ....ive never had one totally dead like this
That's probably the only option at this point. I hope the piston is traveling in the cylinder and doesn't have a hole in the top of it, or it could be major.
