I got a tip of an out of the way piece of property that had a lot of junk vehicles and building material on it. My best friend and I went to check it out with low expectations. We just like to dig around. As we were looking at a parted out, left for dead Big Red, we spotted a green fender underneath some junk. It turned out to be a US90 rolling chassis. It still has the balloon front tire. The frame is in tact along with the rest of the parts on it. We saved it just in time. We have video footage of it. But my buddy does not have the cord for his video camera. He is here on leave right now. I will photograph tomorrow at least. Hopefully I can show you all the recovery. That was certainly and adventure.

Cool. You snagged it then did you? Restore or resto-mod?

I have it in the back of my truck right now. I plan on doing neither. I got it out of there so it could go to a good home. I have no use for it. I figured some one here would want to take it in.

The Big red would have been too much for us to carry out along with the 90. So it had to be sacrificed. We had a better chance dragginf the rolling 90 through the woods. Once I can get the vidio footage, I'll show you all the Big Red. then, if somebody wants it, I'll try and get it the next time I am on leave.

Yeah, they were non too kind to this trike. However, there are several good parts on it. The frame especialy. I am going to post it in the classifieds for free. I have to report back by the ninth so I am leaving tomorrow to check in. I am hoping somebody will make arrangments to come pick it up while I am training.

I wish I was closer to you I would take it off your hands.I like it and I am sure, though missing parts, it could be fixed like many others.It would be awesome as one of those duner projects. :twisted:
