Side projects...lets see them!

What are you guys building in your spare time when your not working on your ride. I am currently working on 2 classic tricycles and I will be making some complete custom tricycles. pictured below are the 2 I am doing and some inspirational pics of other custom trikes.

 

That red one with the wagon is SICK! Great work!!

 

I agree!!! Awesome bike

 

They are all pretty sweet looking IMO. Love the wheel covers!

I'm building a twin turbo setup for my Duramax.

 

Thats gonna spool like a mutha!!!

 

Minibike project

 

hell ya would love the 1930's tricycle we made into a flower stand,skirted fenders front & back.

 

Finally got this done.Will have to change out to a plainjane before the snow and salt!!

 

It is a cool trike but I didnt do it. It is an Enzo trike. I just posted it For inspirational purposes.

 

That's very cool. gives me an idea...lol

 

Im building a couple of old BMX's and a minibike. The bikes are an 89 Mongoose Cali Pro and an 89 Bully. I want my kids to have decent bikes, though the Bully is for me lol. The minibike is a stratch build. 3 hp B and S.

I have a few projects in the works. The 1958 NSU Prinz will have 2,165 cc VW engine. The Toyopet will have the original engine rebuild and the 1928 Ford will have a 1953 Mercury Flathead with a 3 speed Mercury transmission.

Thanks

My '48 F1 is 99% finished and then I found a sideline project (a 1961 Siesta 10 footer) that's turned into my main project. As long as the F1 is done by spring I'm good.

I do like working on the trailer (ex-wood butcher) as there's no radiator, engine, transmission, clutch, etc.. to leak, grind, sputter, miss or not start.

 

NSU Prinz the way it is looking today. Working on the rear suspension.

Starting work on my '55 Oval window Beetle while finishing up the minor details on the Falcon van and juggling school work. There is also a '66 Sportster XLCH that will be getting put together somewhere in the mix.

 

there are plenty of side projects that need to be the main projects, like our house, the bike shop,and a few other major things but i aint got no spare time because of all my cars.oh well cars first.(wifes not in the room so i can say that).lowkat i like that trailer,alot.

 

bicycle with a mini bike motor. yea it's not the safest thing in the world but it should be fun when it's finished.

 

I'm working on the next book in the series (see my avatar)...does that count for this thread??? It is auto related. Should be released in the next few months.

That is a cool project.

 

A few things I will be working on this winter:

1926 Briggs FH crank start:



And this crazy pump that I got with the engine:

 

76 R65 cafe

 

Hmmm... side projects... in spare time? Guess this one is as close as I get. Been tinkering here and there hoping to get it back on the road. Been down almost 2 years.

 

haha, i have one brewing too!

 

Hell, I can't even get my main project done.

 

Like them little trikes a lot. The motorized bicycle is cool too.

 

Oh yeah and the David Bradley chainsaw......I forgot about that one!

 

Just started on the restoration of this 1961 Dart Kart.

This was a side project a few years ago.....1961 BMW R50

 

Ultra cool! What is that front end off of????

 

Love the look of that cart! Have you got some more pics showing the rear set up? Thanks.

 

Here's a shot of it after I modified a bit (added some reinforcement, cut off some extra junk that the PO welded onto it, etc).....

Here's a shot of the rear as-found....
