First post here, Adam from Michigan checking in. Such a great site and its one of my biggest passions! Well, enough of that and onto the build.
Picked up this Worksman trike from a coworker, his buddies dad worked for Ford as a welder, and this had been sitting behind his garage for 10+ years.
He was going to scrap it, and that's how it came into my hands! 
Being a fellow auto worker for a competitor, you know, the one that went bankrupt, but not GM, I decided to get to work with an idea in mind. I envisioned a old school Dodge pick up truck for this build. Just a vision I started out with this.................
Ok, removed the add on seat bracket and motorcycle seat, rear cargo area, yes his name was Larry, removed Larry from the frame and added a Schwinn seat. Also went with some tall ape hangers for this one. Removed the solid rubber tires and through on some randoms I had. Decided to take back some barley pops and test her out.................
Got to work cleaning, sanding, wire wheeling and some good ole steel wool. The rims shinned up great and so did the stem. Primed and painted flat black for now. removed and cleaned the drive train and a new chain and chainwheel............
Decided to build a new bed for her, used pine for the boards and oak for the vertical supports...........
Stained Red Oak...........
That's were im at for now.
Im thinking some nice fat white walls for tires. Still haven't decided what color to paint her, but would sure love some suggestions!
Still need to add DODGE to the back of the tailgate and some other bed details.
Any other tips, suggestions or crits are HIGHLY recommended and appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for looking, Adam...............
