It looks like a closer rendition to the Mailbox Chopper but with a V-Twin engine. Wow! It's killer whatever it is though!
Just awesome!

Sorry Paul I'm such a lousy typest, the littler said, the better. Most of my work is pretty much free form sculpture. I never really know what the hell I'm building until it's done. I chopped up the frames of the Shaker Trike and Aces Wild , and then went from there. The wheel base was shortened a bit, and I scatch built the rear section of the bike, along with thew body. I have a few more body modifications to do before painting. The thing should be finshed by the end of the week. Here are a few more shots. BOOM       |

Boom, I like the spoke wheel on the front better than the billet wheel if my opinion matters at all. With the bike really having that old school show trike look, the wire definitely looks more at home.
A very inspiring build for sure! I can't get enough of it and can't wait to see the finished product!

I thought that was a 1/20th scale trike kit when you first posted the pictures. Nice combination of those kits! I too like the wire wheel up front as it looks more like the show trikes. Look forward to seeing this one finished as well. ;D

Holy crap Paul, that just totally kicks azz Bro!! You are da' man with the Bondo! I've got a 'Bone Daddy" sketch on the pad for a trike, using the Shaker forks as well. (Scurvy beat us on both counts though at bashing this thing first...) It's next in line after I finish this Tiki bike. Once again, you have raised the bar WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY above the mark for creativity and awesome kitbashing!! I can't wait to see this beast finished! and yes, I'm expecting some seriously nasty paint on this from you!!
