You don't plan on hauling the trike around on a modern aluminium trailer when you show the two together?


lol, I'll have cross that bridge when I get there, and as slow as things are moving here that'll be a while... I have been tossing my five projects around in my head trying to establish a pecking order.

I've been browsing through issues of Street Rodder and Rod & Custom all day - man, I want to get this car built and on the road!!! I am really tempted to sell the Camaro before winter so I can definitely have the Timepiece out for next season. I actually like my Camaro and don't really want to sell it, but I think I could live without it for this little toy

You will always have a thumbs up for Daytons from me. I actually really wants Daytons for my Fiero I just need to get it to a point where new wheels are more important than keeping it running in the first place. I have actually seen a lot of cool old vehicles this last week that kept me thinking of your project.

I was in Indianapolis visiting my mother and on one day we went to the Indy state faire where they had a whole slew of old tractors including two steam powered behemoths. Sadly I missed the tractor demonstration in which I would have seen one of them actually run (talk about steampunk wet dream). I did get to see two incredible kerosene tractors move there weight around (companies Mogul and Titan) you can see them in the brochure that you can download here Tractor Show Info. They were so ridiculously awesome I loved every second of it. That and I got to goto the Indianapolis Motor Speedway museum where they had plenty of 20s/30s/40s Indy cars that were equally incredible, but for some reason I didn't take my camera there either. In short I got to see a lot of old machinery this last week and I am reaffirmed in how much I love old cars and machinery.

I am happy to see your still making progress on the 1927 Fiero though I am curious as to what you have in mind for headlights and tail lights I haven't seen any on your drawings or 3D models yet and some of the pictures you posted as inspiration I started noticing those details. Looks good.

I'm still up in the air on the headlights but I have an idea on the tail lights. I saw something while browsing through the mags that caught my attention, but didn't snap a pic to put in my digital Timepiece folder. I'll see if I can find it, or do some kind of rendering...

There's a headlight I'm trying to find but can't. In Feb 2000 Street Rodder there's a car that has 1927 Jordan Playboy (E&L) headlights that might look good. It's cigar shaped and frenched.

I have an idea on how i would do this one, and be DOT approved.

I'd tell but I'd have to kill you Seriously though, I need to look into it because that presents an option for a street rod part I could produce and market. If I do, you're getting compensated Master of Research (serious).
