I've been building oddball stuff for a long time: '56 Fords instead of tri-five Chevies back in the '60s, 750 Honda choppers in the 70's, Ford roundy-rounders, Trikes from FWD cars, a '56 Plymouth gasser-inspired street car, lots of fun stuff that turns $ into noisy vehicles. I'm currently building a '60 Rambler American for my wife: F.I 2.3 Ford with a 5 speed manual for her daily driver. I'm also about to start on my Toronado-based trike with an Olds 350 and '61 Imperial fins. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone who has fun building weird stuff.[;)

I live in the San Luis Valley of Colorado, not far from NM at 7,600' of elevation, and ride two wheels, too.
 
Welcome to RRR, Glad to see you made it here

Well I see you found the Nash. When you get a chance the other two link on my signature are to the two trucks I was telling you about.
 
Welcome to the RRR but, I have to say

Okay, okay, Here's a couple pics of my Plymouth, and what the Toronado trike looks like now. It's going to change a lot before it comes back outside. I'll post a couple pics of my other trikes in another post.

These two trikes were both based on FWD/Fiero tranaxles and suspension with 2.8 V6 engines. The Zomby Woof trike used a Z-code 2.8 with some work done to it. It hauled ass!

The trikes were built from scratch. I built the frames, bodies, did the paint, everything except the upholstery. They were a kick in the ass. The Plymouth is now in the Netherlands.
 
Here are a couple pics of 750 Hondas I built back in the day....a lot of pictures got lost
