HJ getting all tubby. . .
Good picture to start with, you cn see how the original wheel tubs have been split straight down the midle and a section tacked into place. . .
Finished product from underneath. You have to look really hard to see any alterations and with a coat of paint these joins will disappear. . .
Dylan working on the rear parcel shelf. This area and the sheetmetal behind the rear seat has to be sealed completely to make the boot area fuel cell 'friendly' and keep the engineer happy. . .
Fair bit of repair work needed here because previous owner wanted more speakers than brains and cut the shit out of every panel to make as much doof doof as humanly possible. . .
Johnny's Trike. . .
First cut of an inlet/exhaust manifold. The exhaust component is simply four pipes running to the rear of the trike and any excessive noise will be taken care of by Harley internal baffles.
The inlet side of things is going to be a little bit more traditional with the carby being used, Hodgey has managed to get hold of a Harley 'Screamin Eagle' and it will be fitted in original Harley style. . .
The big mitt of the master showing off the new gear lever for the trimatic gearbox. No linkages needed here with a cable being utilised for the gear changes. . .
Final pics of Plymouth. . .
Interior see's where Dave has fitted the XR6's brake assembly and new flooring sections and enlarged the transmission tunnel for the larger auto gearbox. . .
There she sits in all her glory. Final fitout will be done by the owner, although don't be surprised if it's not back again. . .

Happy Birthday Johnny. . .
The man and his trike, such a lovely couple. . .
Happy birthday Johnny, we all love you. . .

Johnny's Trike. . .
For those of you who have been writing in, worrying about the lack of development of Johnny"s Trike, worry no more. Here you can see that the 'Awsomenator' has custom fabricated a new foot pedal into position so that the big man now has full control over his rear brakes. . .
And have a look at the power booster that Dave managed to squeeze in between the rails and under the radiator, which just happens to be well hidden under Johnny's 'Bitch Seat'. . .
HJ update. . .
To look at a photo like this can be totally un-inspiring, but to those in the know, you can see absolute craftmanship oozing everywhere!
When you look at this pic and compare it to the one above, you can see how much has been massaged out of the rails and then it makes you wonder about the other little adjustments like mini-tubs that extend right up into the top of the guards to allow for the skewed wheel travel that happens when you drive a super low car into a driveway or petrol station. Those are the sort of details that the 'masters' of the trade consider before jumping the gun and reaching for the gas-axe. . .
Sinister. . .black and polished alloy, just plain bad arsed 355 ready to motor Miss Daisy to the supermarket. . . IN STYLE!
I just love it when a plan comes together. . .
F100 update. . .
Rear rails notched and diff mounted back in. . .
Sitting back on the ground. . .absolutely unreal,
BUT for this customer we are going to have to raise the ride height. . .each to their own!
