Sorry to hear of your loss.

I'm thinking I should name this Lethal Weapon. I was sitting on the floor, sanding the black off of the chainring with my back to the frame. I have the back tires off, and leaned back into one of the fenders. OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It looks like I'll be sanding those points down a bit.:giggle:

The braces cleaned up nicely, I doubt I'll fill the top section in. With a little luck, I'll be starting the bodywork this week.

And you better be wearing a red and white checked shirt, overalls, and a straw hat!:bigsmile:

Welding is done (maybe), now it's time for clean up. Depending on how it looks once the welds are ground, I might fill the top opening in.

That top tube really brought this all together. Nice work!

Does that part rotate? If so, rotate it away from the seat and weld a thick washer to it.

I tried a few designs for the last brace, one was having it very close to the guide. In the end, this was the most pleasing to my eye. It somewhat matches the curved brace of the axle housing.

The pieces for one side. The top brace tacked. The connecting tube uses the rear bolt for the seat mount.

I've got the other side in place, now to figure out where to put the third brace. I'm thinking of making the last braces part of the rear seat bolts.

Not a how to question, more like a what to and where to. I just ordered some vinyl for my seat. I'm planning a white flake insert and black for the outer edge. Right now the plan is to have the insert done in a tuck and roll style. I need to know what kind of foam and backing I need. I also...

That is absolutely gorgeous! I love your designs and fabrication skills. You certainly have a great eye for making all that tubing "flow", for example the way your top tube lines up with the upper support of the forks. It's pure genius. Do you do fabrication work for a living?

I've got the main braces on one side welded up. I had to cut the couplers down quite a bit to be able to flex the struts enough to remove the fender, there was no need for them to be so long. After I get the other side done, I'll figure out the brace that holds them from moving side to side.

That is one sexy BB mount!

Working on the frame part of the fender mounts. This consists of four 10-24 couplers, four 1/2" spacers and four 10-24 screws, and a length of 10-24 all thread. The first step was to lock two of the couplers on to the all thread and round them off on the bench grinder. This will allow them to...

Between the heat and doing projects for others, there hasn't been much progress. I've been trying to figure out which method I want to use to mount the fenders and have them be somewhat strong along with looking nice. I decided to try some 3/8" tubing for the braces. The first two pieces were...

Dang it's hot out! I marked out the design on both fenders with 1/4" masking tape, then shot some paint on it, then pulled the tape to have a permanent mark. First one with a rough cut using the angle grinder with a cut-off wheel. Second one cut Left over parts. One cleaned up a...

I don't really know anything about them, other than with all the points on them, I thought they would match the trike's spikey theme.

Don't you just love waiting on a part, then suddenly with no contact from the vendor, your order gets cancelled? New pedals coming soon. I'm hoping this is the last part I have to buy for the trike. I'm sure I'll need to get more hardware, and building supplies.
