I'm Marcie. New to the Forum, not new to metal fabrication. Started the metal career in 79 @ Electric Boat Quonset Point RI, after growing up in the home building trades working for my father. Moved south to get away from the cold and have worked building oil rigs, production platforms, chemical plants, ships, custom boats, etc, mainly as a fitter. I've worked in Hull, structural, and pipe. Currently working @ Austal USA in Mobile, AL, in Fab building the tri-hull LCS, and have spent time on the JSHV catamarans for the US Navy.
At home I build trikes. First was a rear engine VW trike for a very tall, large disabled man that wanted to get back on a motorcycle. The second, I'm in the process of finishing up and working all the bugs out of it. It's a mid engine trike using a 914 Porsche engine, a gutted VW spacer transaxle with a jackshaft bolted to an adapter that ties to a Porsche 914 5 speed transaxle.

Just a couple welders and a couple of big hammers and torches.
