Fender definitely balances the tank in front. Bike looks good. Can't remember how the trailer ties in with the build? Unless there's some news you haven't shared on here....

I've mentioned it before, indirectly.Fender definitely balances the tank in front. Bike looks good. Can't remember how the trailer ties in with the build? Unless there's some news you haven't shared on here....

So that was my response to a comment back on page one.
Hence the trailer.
Also, I don't think this frame is CWC. Could it be Snyder? Did I spell that right?

Ahhhhh, side car ! Nice addition. You and the wife can go on dates now. Just remember she's out there about 3 feet farther to the right.....
Hang on tight!

Nice just like the old Buster Keaton movies...
Pull the connecting pin and off she goes on her own!

Side note ... Buster Keaton had a house here in Muskegon in the Bluffton area along Muskegon Lake.
There were actually quite a few actors and circus performers who lived in this tiny villa.

I could see a dog or two hanging out in the side car with goggles on...
Great looking bike. Side car will ad another level of cool!

Thanks guys.
The shape of the car gets me, I liked it at first but I think the angle of the front throws it off. I'll have to put it next to the bike and see how it looks, I might have to rebuild it.

I don't know Falstaff, I love the bike, But, I just can't see the sidecar complimenting the bike in this configuration. A crazy idea, maybe build the sidecar into a shape that mimics the tank? It might just be me, I guess seeing them together would help.

Might be a good idea, I was thinking build the car with lines that flow with the frame; then paint to match the tank lines.
Then again, I have to make another tank to see what I think.
This might be the wrong bike for a sidecar all together.
Whatever you do, don't pay any attention to me or Dave!! We'll both lead you astray! You'll get it figured out.

I think a pic with the bike next to it, so we can compare lines would be helpful. I like the idea, just wondering if the plywood is too 'heavy' for the look of the bike. I do like Big Ape's suggestion of a mimic of the tank shape....maybe your shell could be made from that vinyl sheeting that is pliable, or a tin that you could bend...

If I get a chance today I'll drag the car and bike out for pics.
OJ, I did think about using coroplast for the body. I figure if it works for velomobiles, it should work here. I'll still need a wood frame tho. I've cut the frame like I did to cut weight, I also have some lightweight material I could wrap around and coat in resin. We'll see.
