Re: EVan-Tricycle

I like it wood (for my two cents !)....

Re: EVan-Tricycle

Make your metal cage, hide it with thin veneer, and wood the outside as planned. My jeep is small with a metal cage - but they can roll over easy ..


Or --- make a frame of laminated Yew layers - bounces more than steel and is strong.. (my dad made longbows !!) He made a steam cabinet and bent wood onto all sorts of shapes and laminated layers.. tough and resilient.....
He made a boat of veneer frame and thin layers you could lift over your head and put a 40 HP mercury outboard on....

Re: EVan-Tricycle

Nice lines !! I see where you could jigsaw and glue a wood frame under this and end up with strength and design.....

Now for the wind tunnel tests .....

Re: EVan-Tricycle

Good Grief - My Jeep has more cross-wind and head-on than anything streamlined like that. It is a box pushing the air (and catching it) ....

Thank you.
Marrying Arch is the best thing to happen to me, she is the ideal and perfect wife for my life style, moods, and mechanical passions.

 

[Dave Koller]

I like the slim, neat, between the the rails, version as well Woody.

Me too!
