Thanks for posting that. It really impressed me and then I got to see it, close up, in person. I really enjoyed looking it over.
Feel free to cruise the V8 Section.

Both sound way cool and are a blast to ride. Well balanced and handle well... just hold on tight...
The V12 sold at the MidAmerica auction in Las Vegas in January for $24,000.

Yeah - it did...

The builder was a bit disappointed, but he didn't want to haul it home.

I know he's working on another bike, but don't know what he plans to build it around...

The guy who did the re-do work on my Model 'A' (and built that V-12 bike) is in the process of building the trike in the attached pictures.

An early Ford flat head V-8 (60 hp) for engine; trans, brakes and wheels from the same era Ford car; but, a Model 'A' rear end (shortened a bit).

Note the shifter on the left - some interesting curves in that shaft to make it work.

Exhaust is electrical conduit - straight pipes -- very cool sound.

I've asked him to take pictures as he progresses and will post them as (if) I get them.

In the background, behind the two guys standing, is a 2-wheeler he's working on built around another flat head V-8.

FWIW

For those interested...

It's a 'trike-up' with the addition of the pickup-like box... yep, that's the carb/air cleaner coming up thru the 'tank'...
