I have a lot more but this will give you an idea of what I'm doing.

FYI, there is a frame on e-bay for $45 that might help with this project. It's just the main backbone, but it has the neck already built and the mounting pont for whatever rear axle sub-frame you wish to build.

Did you say if you were going to drive the rear wheels or front with the engine? I've considered doing the front wheel. I have a blueprinted, roller bearing, .030 over 5hp Briggs in my garage from my kart racing days. It's an old Uncle Frank's engine. During the last freshening, it dyno'd 10.5 horse at 6600 rpms. Top speed on the banked 1/8th mile I raced was just about 70 mph. It would be too much motor to drive the rear wheels - it would just spin the PVC tubes - and I think it might be too much for the front wheel, too. If it turned a 12" wheel to 70, think how fast it would turn a 20" wheel! I'd best be wearing full leathers and a full face helmet.

I'll be driving the rear. My goal is to not need the PVC as I like the smell of burnt rubber and black marks on the street. LOL. I've started looking at some billet pieces for the engine and I've seen some guys get these in the 20's for HP. As far as the frame I like building them. I just got power to my new shop to handle the welders and machine equipment so the frame is the fun part. The only thing I will buy for that is the front fork, stem, and bearing cup assy. To cheap to mess with building. As soon as I get back from traveling I should have some tubing bent up and the main chassis in a fixture so I can build a few more.

You need to get started on yours sounds like it would be innovative and just flat out bad a$$. Post a link in my thread if you start one so I can follow your lil project.

Thanks for check'n in.

Thanks. Nates doing all the heavy lifting. LOL. Everything I have from Porterbuilt has been top notch. I just hope I can do his hard work justice when it comes time for my part.

69CST-V · 10-30-2013, 03:10 PM

All right as many of you know SEMA is fast approaching. Nate and the guys at Poterbuilt have been putting in the overtime and still managed to put some time in on the beaters. Looking good.

99 to Life · 10-30-2013, 08:02 PM

Luv it, how much is this racking you!!

69CST-V · 11-11-2013, 05:36 PM

Thanks man. Nate and his crew look to be putting some good thought into the package. Stoked to see both trucks come together.

On a side note, you seem to have rocked SEMA. Tootsie is all over the web. It's a really clean and masterful piece. You know how to build to the next level. Hope to see it in person someday soon. Congrats on the truck but more than that glad to hear about your mom.

**oldman3** · 11-12-2013, 12:19 AM

Very nice...Jim

STOCKISH · 11-12-2013, 11:28 AM

Can't wait to see this as a roller!

Wybrow · 11-12-2013, 12:52 PM

Both of these are going to be incredible.

Well sorry for not updating in a timely manner. However Nate and the guys at Porterbuilt have been working hard and sent over a few progress pictures. I'm starting to get excited now seeing how far along things are getting. Fully welded front clip with those beautiful Porterbuilt welds. Oh yea.

69CST-V · 12-04-2013, 10:46 AM

Oh I've also made a little progress on the Drift-Trike. Tell me what you think.

STOCKISH · 12-04-2013, 10:46 AM

So nice! This is going to be amazing.

**superflysteiny** · 12-04-2013, 12:11 PM

Angryman117 · 12-04-2013, 11:57 PM

The Drift-Trike looks like it will be pretty insane! Keep up the good work on the Trike N Trucks!

69CST-V · 12-17-2013, 02:05 PM

Little late on the update. The guys at Porterbuilt are making progress and have the first one off the table.

xpickup · 12-17-2013, 02:43 PM

69CST-V, I can not wait to see it with all the suspension hanging on it, and it being a roller. Very, very nice.
