Now i’ve tack welded bits of thin panel steel to the frame work of the first side panel and ready to start adding the body filler It’s a bit clearer now that there is a scoop in the middle of the guard to direct air flow to the radiator side view of the overall body […]

Trike Body panel 4

I was going to make a fibreglass panel for the rear as well but i think diamond plate does just as good a job here and it’s quicker. Made a start on the new side panel and once again i’m making up a metal skeleton and then covering it with scrap panel steel then body […]

Trike Body Panels 3

I decided to stop making the original side panel cause i didn’t like it and made a start on the plug for the bonnet instead I can’t draw very well and it’s too much hassle to draw up the body panels on the computer so i’m designing the bonnet as i go along. There are […]

Trike Fuel System

Started on making up a main fuel tank today from 1.2mm thick panel steel. I had previously made a mock up of the tank from packing sheet and cardboard and then transferred the shape to panel steel, cut it out and bent it up and this is what i ended up with so far. I’ve […]
