Here is a quick update for everyone...I got yelled at(haha)by a few guys for not posting in awhile.. My bone is getting better but the muscles in my chest are...
Mark did you sell your turbo phantom body? where and by whom did you have it made? can you give me this information? im looking to mouunt it on a sportcycle...
Well, Now that I am re-energized and ready...nothing else seems to be. I have been trying to get out and work on Lo-T3k but it keeps raining on me. I have also...
I think the easiest answer for the body is to use wood, and foam, AND flat sheets of fiberglass pulled off a flat mold. Jerry alludes to this a lot, and has...
... great Cam... I wish you all the luck with your land yacht... when do you plan to sail??? sounds like it's going to be heavy... I would suggest you look to...
I agree with Tim, When the FG vs. wood discussion came up in the VORTEX group, did anyone follow up on the 3 wheeler wooden car link? If so, did you happen to...
Yeah, but I have to choose a method that I can see getting the body shape I want w/ a reasonable amount of work. I am going for as light as possible - I'm...
I'm an Naval Architect so, this is my subject... ;) You are absolutely right ! No one, will go for a one off hull (in this case body) in the hard way, it is...
After reading flytch's rather caustic reply to Didj's post, I felt the need to follow up with some comments of my own. First off, wood is a perfectly suitable...
Thanks Wade, tho I really didn't feel belittled or nothin, it's just his opinion and Timothy's a builder, so I doubt he'd have any issues w/ me making...
Ok Cam... here is one alternate approach... just take a few pieces of scrap foam/cardboard/ etc... and make up a few temporary bulk heads... then take your...
Yes your right... foam is very dated.. however it's cheap.... I can buy a sheet of foam at the hardware store for $9 a sheet... I'd love to use balsa core or ...
Well now that we have that out of the way, and thanks for all of acting like adults. I seem to be one that starts things and not by doing it on-purpose. I will...
Sorry dad. <But he started it!> I like the new body style, but I do have some concerns about the airflow around the engine. With the windshield covering both...
Hi, Todd! I quite like the new renders, to be honest. But there's a little thing that bothers me: your setup is assimetrical, but yet you seem to be trying to...
... acting ... I ... against ... in ... out ... Now, here's an example of different strokes. Unlike Tiago, I like your renderings where the front end is...
... No big deal, I am glad it didnt get out of hand as some do in some other forums. I am glad that I have never had that problem in this forum. Thanks to...
... That is kinda how I was looking at it as well. I think Tiago is one of the few that likes the other look, non-symmetric. Most of the feed back is people...
... Keep it asymetrical.........one advantage is you don't have to build both sides alike......lol....lol...the other is it is just "COOL" I am sure you...
Hey Todd, As stated by someone else, it's your ride, make it your way... one thought for a cover for the engine side to help keep heat away from the driver is...
I'm hoping to get some clarification - I've been told that a car tire will fit on an 18" motorcycle rear wheel, and I've been told by others that the beads are...
The answer is yes! I am at work but I have some info at home that I will have to find/gather. I will see what I can get for you in the next day or so. I have...
Oh have I got an idea for you ! ! ! ! ! I will try in the next day or so to let you in on a little secret I have been thinking about...but dont tell anyone. I...
Yes you read that right! I am now lowering my personal phantom body to $1,000 cash. After entertaining numerous "window shoppers", I have decided to sell this...
Yes, it can be done. The bead on a motorcycle tire is not as wide as the car tire bead, but it will seat up just fine....find the narrowest tire you can....
lets see some photos of it ************************************** AOL now offers free email to everyone. Find out more about what's free from AOL at...
... as the car tire bead, but it will seat up just fine....find the narrowest tire you can. I've done this on the rear of my Indycycle and have speed tested...
... Well, a lot of 2F1R configuration trikes start as a motorcyle, hence use the rear wheel and drive assembly. The contact patch on a bike tire is way less...
