Well I finally started the ATC70 rebuild.

[jfaulkner02]

Tonight I had my buddy come over who is more acustomed to points than I am. Together we got the little booger started. Has great spark, runs strong, and shifts great too. So here we are......the tear down. My phone is only letting me load one pic right now so here is the bare frame. This weekend it will hopefully be blasted and painted.

Sweet! I will be following your build!

cool. i'm just geting started on a 70 i picked up a couple weeks ago. it will probably be a slow process though, mine needs a LOT of love. and a recoil of course. seems to be an epidemic with these little critters.

This is basically just a fixer upper build. One day id like to afford to do a restore. Ive been watching.yours too 350xx. This should be fun.

Mine is coming along. I will post more pics tomorrow or sometime soon when i work on it.
I will have it all together soon because i have all my supplies, just need to do some labor!

[jfaulkner02]

Cant wait to see pics. I have some parts on order like seat pan, throttle cable, and brake shoes.

[jfaulkner02]

Well yesterday I got some blasting done, today I will paint these parts. Ill post pics later today. Just wish my parts will hurry and get here.

Well never got the chance to paint the frame, however I did get a couple parts painted. Like I said before instead of black paint im going with black Rustolium bed liner that I have left over from my Jeep. I dont know what it is, but sometimes my phone will upload pics and sometimes not. Apparently this is a NOT evening. Ill try to get to a PC sometime to post some pics up. My parts should be here by tue end of the week. I cant wait.

Okay sweet! looking forward to it.
Getting up early tomorrow so i can work on my seat cover.

[jfaulkner02]

Hey, thanks for reminding me. I need to recover my seat, but my gma owns a upholstry shop so I get my seats done for free. I may have to visit her this weekend.

[jfaulkner02]

Well I finally got some work done on the 70. Not much, but some sanding, sand blasting and painting. So here are some parts new and refinished. New seat pan, refinished chain guard, frame, brake drum, seat bracket, and skid plate. Im currently working on the tank and forks. Hopefully get the seat reupholstered next week.

So is that a brush on rhino liner type paint?

[jfaulkner02]

Yes, its actually Rustolium roll/brush on bed liner.

[350xx]

Should protect it fairly well

[jfaulkner02]

lol, yeah. I not only wanted to use it because I had it laying around, but for the durability. I figure paint not only the parts that I wanted black, but the ones with the most chance of rusting. I wanted to make sure it will last through my son, then my daughter when she gets older then possibly a daddy toy later. hehe
