It's still in the building stage he has shown it off a little but it's not been driven yet but knowing the owner as well as I do it will run n drive when he is finished with it and it will Shine with the best of them The 2 guy's that are building it don't do Crappy work .

Definately was not stating crappy work.. Looks very cool..

Just did not look like that size tubing would hold the power the diesel motor should make..

I would love to see that thing move down the road.. Will be an awesome Trike? Bike?

I think the tubular header looks awesome. I bet there is a reason diesels run cast iron, heat presumably, which in this application won't be an issue.
