The Chopper Compendium

I have always wanted to build a trike, and i do have a turbo 350 transmisssion plus rear end and a used old 350 engine from one of my collector car rebuilds i did a long time ago. So i have been thinking what to use them for, a trike build would be real cool to do with the parts, but it will have to wait a while till i gain more knowledge with my 1979 honda bobber build. Here is a few cool idea pics.

Should be a good combination..
Lots of plans and ideas out their for V8's

I have a fresh built 350ci 350hp motor,400 turbo and a 12 bolt GM rear end out of a Suburban just waiting for me to get started on.

Hi fat mike, nice looking engine for a trike build. Well atleast i have some future plans for the extra parts i have had sitting around in my car parts shed for years collecting dust. I am going to surf the internet to get ideas and plans for a future trike build. Another cool trike pic

It's allllllllll in the imagination. .

I really like the ideas he came up with (not that all hasn't been done before) and the way he put things together, but the finished product is not really my bag! It is nice though.

If ya have a big shop, access to all the machinery etc. It makes it a lot easier.
Kinda hard to being a one man band in building these things.
BUT, that is the interesting (or imagination) part of it.
Mine might not look like one that five or ten peoiple got in one..BUT it's mine from start to finish and lets you're hair blow back in the wind.

Hi fat mike, no i do not have a huge workshop to work on something that big. But if you want to build things you will find a way to do it no matter what, i pretty much work by myself but i get my friends to come help when i need a few extra pairs of hands with the big stuff etc. Atleast i have a big yard to work on outside workshops

Here is a few more cool trike build pics.

Oh. I know..I driveway build myself. People around me got used to it over the years.

made it over here from CW; glad to see there is a trikes section........now all that is needed is an 'R & D' section so we can start throwing some ideas around..

It's even harder being a one girl band and doing this stuff on your own, although I do get help from my eldest daughter occasionally.......
