Carl,
Before you get too enamored about a teak body, consider the upkeep:
cleaning, sanding, oiling, cleaning, sanding, oiling (unless one uses
the trike as a conversation piece in the living room)! Maybe the oiling
would take care of itself when you drive the trike, but then there
remains the cleaning, sanding, etc. Still, it's a neat idea and I
wonder if the car looks at al like the tulipwood (I believe) body on a
Hispano-Suiza [sp?].
