    So, steering with a wheel. I have thought in the past about a Pinto rack attached to a straight axle. Was going to ask about the axle.
    I picture you sitting like you're in a recliner with your back against the tire, ass on the ground and feet forward, is that the plan?
    One of my daydreams for a few years has been a tilting (for lack of a better description) wheel 3 wheeler. It would have a Jap crotch rocket in the middle with driver on the left and passenger on the right. Each in a short pod, almost on the ground with the engine between them, one behind each front wheel. Hydraulic telescope front ends tied together with linkage. Would need a lever to pull so it could be locked upright when stopped at a light or in traffic. Never gonna happen, but one of the crazy things that drift through my semi-conscious wanderings.

    This build might fit in the cycle cars thread.

    The front fenders are from a 49'ish Desoto & Chrysler, 60's Falcon tail lights, f-350 swaybar and 70/71 pinto steering.

    Interesting front end. Where will the lower shock mounts go?

    I can never stay on something start to finish... Pea Green is still alive and waiting for interior, currently enclosing a carport(never can have enough inside storage)

    Trike is about done... this video is from a couple month ago...
