56 Vette
Wore out three sets of tires already!
This trike has sat in the back of the shop for about 2 months now, and since no one seems to want it, I figured I'd give it a shot. I usually drive around with my tools on a 3 wheeled Taylor Dunn, but I figured this would be cool to ride, and be able to ride all winter long. Started off breaking it down, it had a bent front rim and tweaked fork, which I found a good set in someone's parts stash.
Next I stripped off the old repaints back to bare metal and the original yellow, fixed a few rough spots and weld splatter marks then got ready to paint. I went with a color called Gobi which is like a desert sand color. I work at the Jeep Wrangler paint shop, so all Jeep colors were available. I like this color, and most other parts will be black. Gonna be pretty cool. Laid down 3 coats of base and 3 coats of clear, for a factory bike, it's gonna look pretty good. Will be cleaning all the other parts for reassembly in the next few days. Been a fun project so far!
