    What an exciting project! You've presented so many well-considered details. If you can match that rendering with the wooden boat inserts, it will be stunning!

    Great vision![8D]

      I'm using a cut down 53' coupe swaybar. It will be stiffer than stock since it is shorter. The body will weigh maybe 400# and the track is 63". The shocks are from a Bronco. Most of the 3 wheel guys don't use swaybars at all, but I think it will be a good idea....

            What a neat project Greg. This is going to be exciting to watch.

            If it wasn't for the last minute i'd never get anything done.

              Thanks guys. Now I need to knock together a prototype axle to carry the rear, modify the rear spring hangers a bit and pack it all away till next september while we work on the salt-racer!

                    Very cool, and right up my alley....I was thinking about doing this very thing!

                      Two more chapters:
                      I’m picking up speed here!  Since last time, I mounted the electric water pump and started to plumb it in.  I’ve bolted on the hood and determined that it was interfering with…

                      I’ve spent a lot of time in the shop lately. Seems like things are sort of falling into place now.  I realized that to fit the nose piece correctly I was going to have to get measurements fro…
