Title: An introduction
Post by: pieman on December 16, 2011, 09:48:48 PM
Felt the time has come for introductions. I'm the pieman and the trike is Eloise, 1600 vw of own design
4 years to date in the making, hope to have it ready for msva middle of 2012. Not good on diary entries  and if you saw my workshop you'd understand that the camera never makes it in for fear of getting lost or oiled, so don't expect updates on the finishing, will hope to do a few shows tail end of next year (ridden down the drive at speed by my kid, fortunately the alarm key fob has a kill switch  :-\ )   
In conclusion could I establish difficulter as a word to piss of my eldest, who is studying English.

Made the decision that I wanted it all sexy curves so carved the first side in foam got it to a point that it looked good then spent ages getting the second side to match then glassed it. In close up the odd flat spot is still apparent but if I drive fast enough it doesn't show
