Thanks!!! I have continued spraying putty and sanding.. The rear body have a slite different shape (almost like a giggantic bike tank ). Theas
pics are taken today. The black stickytape is just a test for a line between carbofiber and paint... I don´t know realy- but it´s just a idea

EEHHHH........ Well, I don´t know I agee.. But if you want- I will update as often as possible... The only thing is- It´s hard to get it symetric.

Hello!! Today I´ve bought some small wheels that I welded to the frame- so I can push it around the garage. I have sanded every day too, so there´s
just some minor adjustments left to the air scoops- to get them symetric to eathother. It´s not easy can I tell!
 
Left front scoop exhaust
 
Left side low scoop
 
right front low

Now THOSE words really are true!
BTW- You are making great progress! Very quick. Are you going to use the Durabuild for primer?

Durabuild for primer... I don´t know really yet. I will try to get in contact with some composite companies to get a Swedish price..
If I not chose the durabuild primer, I will probably use a Waxed Gelcoat "topcoat". The topcoat must be wetsanded and polished to get the
shine I need to make the mold..

That is officially mental
Dont fancy a country lane blast in it though with it being that W I D E at the front, you would have a wheel in each verge!

Do you think there is anyone who will buy a locost version (body, chassi, frontsuspension) of my T42?

It would be a nice tool for using around some of the English country lanes, but I think it would be too wide for most of them.

Depends on the price I guess... there's sortof a lot of trikes out there, even a bunch with superbike engines... beat their price, and I think
you've got a good chance of selling at least a few... seperate chassis and body packages would help too I think, so people can spread out the
costs a bit..

The bodyplugg is now done- The next step is to polish and wax the surface.

I have scatched a little bit on the paintjob.
I have to have this done before I can make the final body shell- So I can put the carbonfiber in the right place.. I will only have carbonfiber on the
spots there it will be visible. Because I cant afford the whole body in carbon.
What do you think?

hi awesome trike cant wait to see it finished.just followed a link to your last project the abarth am i right in thinking the engine is chain powering
the diff by putting a sprocket on the nose of the diff? if not how?i was trying the same idea in a mini and that was what i came up with it would be
nice to know that it worked in practice.
if at first u dont succeed use a bigger hammer!

Micke,
I think you should get some Swede patron of the arts to sponsor your project. It looks very "kinetic"; not only functional but also very
artistic. The picture reminds me of a killer whale with its calf swimming beside it!
I may not be able to afford the money or the balls to own or drive something like your machine, respectively, but I sure would like to have a model
(say 1/8) of it. Have you thought of selling models as a way to raise some extra cash for the project? In fact, this would be a good idea for anyone
making a "special" machine; maybe we can all become "collectors" of each others inventions!
Med Venlig Hilsen (pls excuse the spelling)

No, it wouln´t work because the pinjon (the nose on the diff) can´t handle the pulling force from the chain alone. You must make a think like mine
sprocket axel 190mm long. The round side is against the diff.
