Us southern guys can't take this 30 degree weather.
My plans today were to put the body on and take some glamour shots....my daughter had other plans and decided she wanted to make her appearance today. So here I am in labor and delivery passing time while my wife sleeps ( epidural ) waiting for her to come on out.

 

[outcrydrummer]

Got a few things done.
Got the body pretty much done.
And had a baby lol.

Congras Jushua on the new baby from what I see it must be a son. Required is the weight and length and a name would be nice also.
Back to the Trike project I like the looks of the body in silver and black keep up the pictures.

Congratulations on the new baby, She looks so cute. We just had a new granddaughter about a month ago and its so awesome. Spend all the time you can with them, you will never regret it. Time goes by to fast. The trike is looking great to , Looks like you will be going for a ride by spring, or maybe sooner.

 

[outcrydrummer]

So started my day at northern tool and came home with the rear fenders

A little too common and boxy for me so started cutting em up.

Mid way through my fan work the USPS guy shows up with a package. Its my front wheel and tire!!!!!
Little bit of work to be done on the wheel for the brake and an extra wheel spacer but damn its nice to have a front wheel that isn't a jack stand.
Here's the old girl finally in the yard rolling!!

 

[outcrydrummer]

Still need to hit the fenders with some body filler and paint but they are nicer than what I expected for my first time cutting fenders lol.

 

[Trent Derkatz]

WOW, It is looking really good. Great job. Looks like someone is ready to go for a ride.

 

[outcrydrummer]

Haha yeah she's ready for the trails. Course she's got her own trike now....should be rideable for her in less than a month

 

[Brooklyn Bob]

Hell of a job. Trike is looking SWEET!

 

[outcrydrummer]

Thanks Bob. Doing a little work to the fenders today and hopefully paint soon.
I'm not gonna spend a ton of time on the fenders. I don't mind the fabricated look.
