I was a active member a decade ago. Have been out of motorcycle building for a while but started a four wheel project recently that will have a motorcycle engine. I am out to build a smaller version of a Ferrari 312 pb. Original car had a 3 liter flat 12 so I am using a goldwing 1.5 flat six . If you want me to post it as I go let me know. Here is the real deal and where I am at with the build.

Oh, be still my heart! That is exactly the kind of project that I've had in my head for most of my life. I, for one, am very interested, please keep us posted.
 
Would love to see how you tie all this together, particularly that rear end.
 
Good deal! It's good to be back doing this kind of stuff. It been years and I had forgotten how much I love this .....and hate it!! Forgot the feeling of being itchy with fiberglass!!! Started really working on the body this week. A little frustrated that the radiator housing are about 1/2 in to tall but not a big deal to trim and redo a few angles. The rear end is a little tricky but I am using a Polaris sportsman xp1000 differential which has roughly the same HP and torque as the wing. My first glimpse of the shape

What sort of steering box will you use and what were you going to do for rear suspension? This thing is cooler than the other side of the pillow. With that engine and the vehicles weight, it should be a little rocket ship
