[Huffa]

DANG, I thought so. Anyone know if he has the mag?

[erectordale]

yep he has it from when he bought it back in the day he also wanted that machine from the time the article came out

[Huffa]

Well it's available at a starting bid of 50 bucks :eek: YIKES !!

I want it bad but 50 bucks :wondering

[Jarrod]

that is insane.... $50.00 for it?

must be bound with gold thread....LOL

[Howdy]

Yes, that machine on the cover is the "Project ATC".
I do have that mag and a few others ( over 150 of them ). lol

[MO dx]

I like the paint on that.

[chris200x]

Is there some sort of writing along the edges of those rear fenders? or is it just some sort of pinstripping?

verrrry coooool!!!

[Bryan Raffa]

yep there is chris.. thoes are all the sponsors and products involved in the bike..verry neat to see last year at TF. I hope ya bring it again this year Howdy.. I would like a pic of me sittin on it!!

[Huffa]

I'm sure since he posted the whole story & pictures of it, 100's of other newer members on here have not seen it, so here it is again. You can never talk too much about a rare trike like that.

Quote from Howdy, talking about issue I posted : " I seen the display for the Premier issue of 3Wheeling magazine."

If that's the 1st issue, it's definitly worth 50 bucks !

That's a fantastic pic of it! What is the front suspension off of?

I love that trike, very cooooool! :beer

So he did re-do it all? I thought he didn't finish restoring it, looks all done there, I must have missed some restoring posts on it I guess?

[team-red-rider]

i dont think it was 100% done there looks like the headlight and stuff is still rusty and the chrome could use polishing =]

[Huffa]

OH yea, I see that now, still looks great though.

[70ATC90]

That thing is awsome! Check out the exhaust, is that like a chrome plated cobra? or a full blown custom deal?

[Billy Golightly]

I think my favorite part on that thing is the hollow key way driven axle and hubs :)

[team-red-rider]

WTF are u serious billy?

[Huffa]

Howdy probably had the most fun with it when he 1st opened up the boxes.

[Huffa]

I think my favorite part on that thing is the hollow key way driven axle and hubs :)

Naah, the front end RULES !!

[Billy Golightly]

Yeah? Aftermarket drag racing component companies like JJ&A just started making hollow aluminum keyway driven axles a few years ago, and everyone thought it was some kind of great new revoloutionary concept, but it had already been done 20 years earlier :)

[Howdy]

Actually here is a partial list of what it has:
Joker Frame with Dickson Aluminum side panels.
Dickson Springer Front end
Henrey's Super Axle Made from Hi-Tuff ( It has regular splines like the later atc's )
S&S Exhaust system
Cibi Oscar headlight
Trick Trike Product's Pull Starter Cover
and other cool items.

I haven't restored the machine as of yet. I can't do this until I take care of other things in my life ( keeping Priorities in check ). The machine or certain parts of it will probably be resto'd by Mike Vintage when time and money allows. I want to personally visit him and drop the parts off in person. I don't want any chance of losing the stuff. lol

Thanks Huffa, wow what a rare find. I would put it in the corner of my living room with a framed copy of the magazine on the wall right next to it.
