Absolutely cool. I was just going to ask how the first incarnation turned into a driveway or such. Did you have to get out of the trike?
Great looking project you got there. Both the 1:1 and the 1:25!

How did the steering work on the real vehicle?

i don't know how you drove it before i got. i couldn't drive it up my driveway to my garage, when i first got it. just imagining but, i suppose when you tried to drive in a driveway, you had to make several turns, backing up too, to get it straight enough to drive in. rocketeer, everything in the drive train is gremlin. the front was cut off and the square tube was welded on then the front forks were attached. i suppose it had regular steering box as on the gremlin when it was a car. what i did was to make a dashboard roll hoop out of 1 5/8 and attached a vw super beetle steering box then made a long drag link to the front end. thanks for the replies.
