Darren B Posted March 14, 2016 Author Posted March 14, 2016 So it begins probably 150 pieces of toothpicks to be cut and drilled to line bed.!!!
Darren B Posted March 14, 2016 Author Posted March 14, 2016 This is just an idea for tail lights, i played with them as headlights but not working out may use them for tail lights and for tail lights for an up and coming trailer and trike that will be added to this build. More info when it gets here and where it came from, but at this point just toying with the idea.
Darren B Posted March 14, 2016 Author Posted March 14, 2016 Removed the vents and Ford logo to smooth out the side panels...
gatorincebu Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!! veddy veddy interesting !! Some good ideas. Will wait to see what you decide to do . Be Well Gator
Darren B Posted March 17, 2016 Author Posted March 17, 2016 (edited) I was searching the net for Ideas and came across this build, wow love the theme and the wood look fenders....It is on the coffincorner website done by Tim Nolan, love all the ideas this one came out awesome....

Darren B Posted March 22, 2016 Author Posted March 22, 2016 I have been wanting to try this for a while now using a micro fine sharpie to put a ghost image under the paint, I was going to go with a weathered look but not sure now that I got another kit for this build.
Darren B Posted March 22, 2016 Author Posted March 22, 2016 I just received a very generous gift from gatorincebu for this build, He sent me the TIki Trike and I have to say it was very generous for him to do that. Thank you so very much Gator!!! So very much appreciated!!! Now I have some really cool Ideas in order to use this trike and the decals with the Freaky Tiki build. Been working on plans for a trailer to haul this bad boy around and how to incorporate the design elements from the truck to the trike.
gatorincebu Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) Darren , Glad you like the Trike kit and decals! ;-)) Oh I think the ghosting will work well on this project ! Be Well Gator Edited March 22, 2016 by gatorincebu

Be Well GatorGator, thank you again, I was wanting to try the ghost images/patterns on my aztec warrior but due to the root beer brown I used was too dark to use it, would like to utilize on this build but will see....
Darren B Posted March 23, 2016 Author Posted March 23, 2016 a couple ideas for the trailer for the trike, the yellow one is the body of the aluma coupe was thinking of taking off the sides to use the base as a trailer but will see.....
gatorincebu Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Darren, Looking forward to seeing what you come up with for the Trike and trailer . QQ Be Well Gator
Darren B Posted March 24, 2016 Author Posted March 24, 2016 Darren, Looking forward to seeing what you come up with for the Trike and trailer . QQ Be Well Gatorhavent had a lot of time this week due to work, did take some time to trim down the aluma coupe for the base of a trailer.
Darren B Posted March 24, 2016 Author Posted March 24, 2016 I like the shape of this for a trailer has a suirf board shape will just have to make sure its wide enough for the trike.
Darren B Posted March 24, 2016 Author Posted March 24, 2016 Here is a mock up low to the ground trailer with fenders....
Darren B Posted March 25, 2016 Author Posted March 25, 2016 Had a chance to swing by hobby lobby today, came up on some more items for the build.....
Darren B Posted March 26, 2016 Author Posted March 26, 2016 Getting to work on the body of the chopper trike, will help layout the trailer, may not be able to use the yellow one its pretty narrow but will see....
gatorincebu Posted March 27, 2016 Posted March 27, 2016 Darren, An idea for your trike trailer. When I had my trike. The trailer was a t configuration with a expanded mesh deck over the rear axle ( actually there was no axle per se. just VW axles welded to the angle iron box frame.) And the tongue was a 4 wide channel ( this is where the front wheel rode ) A boat crank on a upright post . And of course the ball hitch and chains.AT the rear of the platform was a full with drop down ramp That when raise was supported by two bar ( one on each side ) The fenders where a couple of motorcycle front fenders . Yes the trailer was basic and not fancy. there were no springs or shocks. In Florida a three wheel vehicle under 1,500 lbs is considered a motor cycle ( trike ) I hope that description makes sense. I do not have any pictures of the trailer. I do have some of the trike. but I need to find them lol Looking forward to this addition to the Tiki project Be Well Gator

Filled in the tiny little window of the main body so far....first mod of it so far....
slusher Posted March 27, 2016 Posted March 27, 2016 Darren the Trike will work so good with your project....
