Hi Jerry.  I'm interested in the details, and any photo's/ sketches of your
3-wheeler.  I have been toying with the idea a making my own 3-wheeler.  I
was thinking of a crome-moly framed vehicle with independent suspension all
around.  A lot lower and a bit longer then a sparrow.  Aluminum floor and
interior with a non-structural composite body.  As a ME by trade, the
design and construction of the chassis is not a problem, but I have no
fiberglassing experience.  But if you are going to start production of a
reasonably priced trike I would probably just buy one.  When you say VW
suspension is that old style torsion, or late-model independent?

   I can build one with a VW front suspension now. The
production one it will have an air spring ajustable
height suspension system and weigh less. But it has to
be built and proven and that takes money I don't have
right now. Once the male mold is done I'll put
together a proposal and shop it around for VC.
   But the VW suspension version could be built in 3
months from order. As these are custom units you could
spec it out any way you wanted.
   If someone wanted one I'll do it the way I build
custom boats, 1/3 on contract, 1/3 on finishing
body/suspension and 1/3 on delivery. After selling 3
of these I'll have enough money to start full
production.
    The male mold is looking good, Tomarrow I put on
the primer, sand, primer, sand, primer, sand then
paint.
    I decided to use gull wing doors also, the look
was to good to pass up.
    The mold should be ready for pics by friday.
    If anyone would like to discuss details e-mail me
off-list or phone 813-671-3059.
        Thanks, jerry dycus
