    1973 ATC90 Restoration Project

    Well, I though I would start a thread about this, instead of putting all my crap in differant threads.

    My plans for this is to make it look factory. Everthing will be painted professionally. New decals, new wiring, better tires (likely just get good used ones). I have to figure out why the motor has no spark, so once I get it running, if it smokes, it will be rebuilt. I think the head is aluminum, so I will polish that, The cases and cylinder will be painted as well.

    This is how it started out:




    Stripped down:


    After grinding rust and sanding:


    Black parts painted:




    As soon as our other body guy gets back from school (about 4 or 5 weeks now) he will be helping with the bodywork and painting on the tank and fenders.

    Does anyone know the exact PPG paint code for the "Mighty Green" color? I found on one site that it was G-31, but I looked it up today in the computer at work and PPG doesnt use that code. I'm going to phone PPG tomorrow and see if they can help me.

    PPG is the paint. I brought home a bunch of sample colors today trying to find an exact match. Theres none in this book, so I have to flip through the big one.
    We phoned PPG Canada with that paint code I had, they didnt have any record of it.

    If any one has a:
    -Footpeg assembly
    -metal front fender
    -Good used tires
    -brake drum (dont know if mine is salvagable)
    -kill switch
    -stock exhaust system

    PM me.

    I'm getting the axle zinc coated, (i think thats how it was from factory, looks that way) My splines on either my hubs, or axle are worn out, the tire has a bit of play back and forth when it sits on the axle.

    She wasnt too happy when I tried to sneak it downstairs and she caught me But she let me anyways since there was nothing in the basement room anyway.

    I didnt even have to steal coathangers from her, those ones stay in the paint booth all the time at the shop

    Thats one sweet 90...all original, I like that...I have some questions for you though...

    On your rear fenders, what color is the "90" in the "ATC90" lettering?
    On mine its white, and now that I look closer at it, it looks like it was purple but faded.
    Oh, and I guess my rear grab bar is wrong too...Whats the tail light look like?
    Were the seats the same from 70-74?
    Thats all the questions I can think of. Thanks

    Do you think they would be yellow and purple decals for the green 73?
    Right now, mine are yellow and white, but it looks as though they may of been purple, but the purple rubbed off.

    what is this hole for on the bearing carrier?
    I had a home-made hitch bolted on that point, just wondering what its actually for.
    BTW, that hitch will be going on ebay soon.
