Here is a little project that I will be working on. Not sure what I want it to look like at the end, but we will see.
Thanks to sausage450r for the trike donation. I got the project name from pipelayer who said if I could get the atc running "You da man".
If anyone has any spare parts to donate or suggestions on the bike let me know.

Remove motor - put into ATC70 frame. DONE!
If you plan to restore this and need plastics, seats, or whatever I have a few carcasses I pulled the motor and wiring out of that I can piece out. Let me know what you need and I can get you pictures and prices.

Actually do you have any decent plastics? Pretty much need everything-front fender and rear plastics. Let me know.

This has turned into a project that my 8 year old is building for me to ride. He is doing most of the work and I am just lending a hand. He decided to use rattle cans where needed. I will snap a pic of his progress.
He/we are doing on almost no budget so parts are hard to come by.

I think it is pretty good especially for an 8 year old, I can't wait to ride it, neither can he.

Unfortunately he wanted more for those than we could pay for them, but thanks for the lead.

Ha! That was another father son experience. I thought there might be a black widow living in there by the look and feel of the webs, but we took some starting fluid and sprayed it in all of the nooks and out came a brown and white spider. My son got out his spider book and we identified it as a Cross Spider. Then I smashed it with a wrench.

Thanks puro.
We got the tank all cleaned out and rattle canned.
Having some trouble finding a thumb throttle with the cable and carb cap. Also difficult finding some used plastics that aren't beat up and reasonably cheap. I may have to buy a new set for $130.
Also found out the oil drain plug hole is stripped out and the plug won't tighten.

Not much else done. Cleaned the tank out with naval jelly. Sanded and painted some more stuff, he sure does like the spray paint.

I rode it down the street today. Just need a hand brake cable and I have something to cruise around with the kids on.
