Jon Polo's 73 ATC70
Day one. This is what it looked like when I bought it from a guy in San Diego for $100.00 It was in running condition and complete. This being the first year of the ATC 70 there was doubt in my mind that this one had to be a restore. I did some research to find the neccesary parts to complete this project. I found Mike Palmgren at www.vintagemotorsports.net he makes factory duplicate fenders and decals. Let me tell you, they are very nice. Mike has been great helping me out with all my technical questions.

Finished at last.I would like to thank Mike Palmgren at www.vintagemotorsports.net which made this restore possible and Billy at 3WW for posting my project. It turned out great, infact too great. I havn't ridden it yet, don't want to scratch it. Anyone interested in purchasing this baby email me crnacnac@yahoo.com.
