I've found a couple decent ones, but not for sale, or they wanted some outrageous amount for it, thinking it was built from solid gold or something.
I've got a rat-picked CRX HF in my dad's barn, and I'm actually considering doing a 3-wheel with it. I could probably shave enough weight off it to drive it with a 10 horsepower utility engine, honestly.
Maybe when we go to pull the thing out of the barn, I'll just cut it in half, and keep the front of it?
The most rust/damage was in the back, so I'll just remove that section, fix what I can in the front, and that will be one neat-o ride! LOL.
(Disclaimer: This, like so many other projects, may end up being a non-starter, depending on how I feel when it comes time to actually do something on it. While it's nice to dream, reality does check in from time to time to really splay one's ideas.)
