No, the body was made in 1969 and has sat behind several garages unfinished. I made a ladder frame and mounted a 3.8 liter Pontiac v6 fi midships- all custom built

On to my next build
I found this image in a magazine over 10 years ago and started to dream about it. 123853

I located a wrecked 89 Honda Shadow Shaft drive vt1100 and roughed out a frame.123855123854 This project has sat for 8 years while i went thru some financial and health problems. I am now ready to jump on it. Fibewrglass body, joystick steering/shifting, 12 in wide rear tire, aircraft cockpit and super low profile. Wish me luck.

reminds me of a Tri Maginum featured in a old Popular Mechanics I remember seeing as a kid.

There was a great episode of "How It's Made" on the Science channel last night about the Morgan 3 wheeler. Good stuff!

Hi Sidekick,

Your new vehicle reminds me of a Pulse Litestar!

Pretty cool man.

I am on to another adventure. I am teaching hand to hand combat to the Philippine military and their National police forces- Rangers/ Special action forces. Putting the trailer on hold

I am back from the Philippines and have been staring at a stack of FRP, Windows, 2x2's, and a few totes full of lighting and trying to build up the nerve to dive into ReRun 2
. Same idea as ReRun 1 ( it proved itself doable. ) but this time going for full length and a few extra inside amenities. When camping I do not want to be tied to the trailer, just have it as available shelter and storage. So, I am going to build a chuck wagon fold up stackable kitchen with dedicated storage and counter tops - including a table and self supporting legs like I had made in boy scouts

scored some nice greyish upholstery material for 1.00 a yard at local shop. Cushions and curtains should be a breeze.
