    Getting closer to starting my project. Picked up a donor bike yesterday and I am waiting for Idea Foundry to get back to me about membership pricing. 

    ^ That is what I am hoping to end up with, if all goes to plan. I’ll document the build up here and hopefully inspire some others. 
    I purchased plans from Atomic Zombie, so if anyone else is interested in a winter project let me know and maybe we can work to help each other out. 
    Stay tuned!

    Well getting slowly closer. Waiting on the end of an ebay auction for a second bike. 

    Picking up some conduit for a seat frame this week as well. The original plans call for a plywood seat framed with angle iron. Decided to do a mesh seat instead. Found plans for the seat on Recycled Recumbent (another site with plans for a homebuilt recumbent) and have someone lined up with the right pipe benders to get the rails I need. 
    This will be the seat when I finish:
    Also thinking of tweaking the plans slightly. The original site has another set of plans I like for a long wheel base trike:
     Thinking of building from my first set of plans from the crank set back, then tacking up the front end with the dual wheels. Might give me the ultimate comfort cruising bike for longer rides and car replacement.
