andy, just looked at photos of "pop stripping" , looks like you all had fun day. are you going to stretch the chassis and have a "trike hauler"

It'd have to be huge, even for one of our miniscule tricycles! I might put a removable tow hitch on though for those occasions when we want to show both vehicles. Shaun plans to have a pickup bed long enough to fit his bike in, which would presumably have to be at least 7 foot long. We were saying maybe it'd be better to add a decent strength tail gate & sit the back end of the bike out on that so the bed can be shorter.
Yeah, we had a great time! Now we've just got to figure out what to do next!

maybe recess trike/bike front wheel into the cab rear panel boxed in to make feature inside between seats? that could gain a foot or so

Thats an Idea. Not seen one like that out there

The trikes are wider than the Pop. I did think about a completely removable roof but probably more work than it's worth.
Used to be 2 brothers in the Moggy Minor scene when I was in it, the Beardmores. They built a Moggy pick up with lift off roof. They also built a Rover V8 engined Reliant Kitten!

Mad blokes

The kitten has just come out of retirement and is currently having an LS1 engine fitted, an all alloy chevy V8 as used in Corvettes up until the LS6 came out. Should be even more nuts! I love the beardmore bros stuff.
