I had a custom trike built in honor of my dad who was killed a little over 3 yrs ago. The initial money came from his life insurance. I named it 'Raisin Hell' with flames behind one of the California Raisins because he loved them. My vehicle broke down in Colorado & I left it with my cousin to work on. He worked on it, but he died before he could finish it. Then it was taken back to my other cousins house outside Austin for safe keeping. I am having trouble trying to get my trike back home to fix/finish building it. I would prefer to go back and bring it home, but I'm entertaining the idea of getting it shipped. It's my favorite material possession. I ask if you can donate whatever you can spare to assist me. See reward levels below.

Here is the start of the T-shirt:

Almost finished pics taken 3 years ago

Below are a few pics of the trike when it was almost complete. You can see the overall build, but a few finishing touches have to be done still.

The removable top is now almost complete. Spent 3 days last week riveting body panels on the top. The left side now has the rails on the top and on the side.

Almost Finished

Stan finished up the mock up this week. All of the lights, all of the electrical, windshield, backup camera and instrument cluster are all working now. He just started tearing it down to clean up the welds, paint and reassemble. Should be done in just enough time for my trip to the great lakes in the middle of April.

Wiring & windshield

Went to see my trike this weekend. Stan is working on the wiring right now. Should take just a couple more days for that. He got me a really cool windshield. I will try to get a pic of it soon.

Trike is off the stands and on the ground; front seat done



The Trike is no longer on the stand that it was built on. It's on the ground and the ride height is about 16" or so. The seats are being made as well as the interior of the cab.
