Will, I guess that's it for a time. Driving up to Williamsburg, VA for two weeks with my parents. May drive back though NC & SC to check out some junk yards. Will be looking for tail light. After April 15th will be driving back out to CA for a few weeks also. Guess that's what you do when your semi retired. Hope to get the trunk area molded when I get back, then the body will be for sale.

Thanks SpiderBob, only 80, sound a little chilly. By April 15th ( The Tax Man ) hope to have it on the road. Once the trunk area has been molded, can put the body back together & build the new on for my trike. Will still have to widen the1st body & didn't want to wreak the factory body doing it. That was the main reason I molded anything. When the NEW body is widen, will build a mod. trunk area to clear the rear end. The trunk will be going fender to fender to help strengthen the body in the rear. Then plan on a 2nd body to mod the front & top to build a matching trailer. The colors I'm kicking around will be Pearl Candy Red Met or Pearl Candy Yellow. It's been fun to build & it has been challenging to do this at home in 1/2 of a two car garage. The Bradley GTII & the Trike take up 1/2 of the garage.

 I don't think I've ever posted a picture of me.Due to the fact that I'm working by myself most of the time, there not many pictures of me. Found one standing next to the Bradley GTII I'm building. So put on your darkest sunglasses, cause here it is in all my glory.

Got a great laptop HP from my Mom & it has WiFi built in. The Hotel has Free hookup. So I'm able to keep up with everyone. Going to junk yard today to look at tail lights for the trike body.

Hey, you are grayer than that  , OK, maybe not. Hope you find what you are looking for. Lights can make or take away from the look.Skip, those two rolls of paper on the upper shelf are about to take a dive  Last edited on Sun Feb 21st, 2010 03:30 pm by SpiderBob ____________________ Spider Bob GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY, GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL "If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps, it is because he hears a different drummer.

Barry from what I see it looks to serve several puproses...One it gets the car up to a more workable height, no bending over, or getting on your knees to do work on the insides...second it It gives you room to store the bits and pieces out of the way but yet close at hand.....I would also think because of the car being very low to the ground that this rack would be very helpful in doing the paint work, again no bending over to get under the sides..... Now here in the states there are auto dealerships and mechanics shops closing left and right...My neighbor down the street built his two car,two story, garage with the intent of puting in a lift later....Just last year he found a "Two post" lift, with swing out arms....The electric motor was toast but for another $100.00 bucks he was able to buy a 220 motor to operate it...Total cost with new motor....$500.00...Good deals on used auto lifts out there, you gotta be in the right place at the right time. Should I have found that deal I would have just had to add onto my garage.....

Here are the tail lights I found in the junk yard. This picture is off of eBay as this computer won't take the camera card. I cut the fender off around the light assy to be able to make a mold of it. What do you think of them? Limited space to mount lights, plus will need to reshape rear fenders. They are 01 Sunfire, half of the light ( Backup) is mount on trunk lid, so the trailer will have just the tail light corners. Will also need trailer light adp. as the brake/turn are the same bulb. I maybe going for the flair fender look, adding the complete side of the fenders as an add-on to to rear bumper area.
