Well me and my son built thid crazy mini chopper out of a old 110 we had lying around this winter for a hot rod show my buddies put on each year. We got so many looks and everyone was takin pictures, we were going for that vintage Rat rod look. Anyways last week I was checking out the new issue of "World Of Rods Magazine" and on Page 30 is our build. Too freaking sweet. Been I while since I uploaded pic to the site, but anyway here are a few.

Not sure if I did this right but here a random clip of the show I found on youtube, the trike we built is around the 58 sec mark.

At first I was skeptical, but it looks great for the intended purpose. Not to mention the added bonus of father/son project!

Heres how it all began. We went to the same show in 2009, looked at all the cool rat rods, and rat bikes and my son says to me,"Dad we can build something like that with all the junk in and around the barn, So we pieced this together with what we had lying around, the only thing we bought was the seat and the handlebars. I was built as kinda a joke or gag for my buddy who puts on the show who has spent thousands of dollars on his '36 3 window coupe. I told him my boy can do a better job and cheaper. It was a fun build because basically there were no rules just loud and obnoxious, and look badass. We ride it around the neighborhood and bike rallys and car show, spent less than $300 on it and its actually fun as hell to ride and turns plenty of heads, I can't recall all of the countless conversations we had about the build and 3 wheelers in general. And heck we spent less than $300 bucks and got a picture of our build in a national hot rod Mag. How many people can say that?
