I drive by that thing every day.
It DOES look that cobbled up in real life.

Don't worry Scott, someone will eventually buy it.  And if they are dumb enough to buy it, they probably won't be smart enough to hook up the rear brakes . . . and it'll be crushed soon enough.   :lol:

It's definitely ringing a bell....
Saw a guy in Alabama once who had built a rather nasty looking trike out of a Toronado set up..... :shock:

Yikes....

What !!  You can't tell me that you don't know how to fix the brakes on that Type-3.  With all the strange  stuff that you have to do at H.C. I find this hard to believe  :shock:   What do you need help with ?    :?

Nothing, I was hoping to get you all riled (however ya spell it) up.  I didn't buy that junk.  I have no use for some cobbled together ride.  If I put a V8 in something it will be a REAL hot rod or muscle car.
