Started my 1985 ATC70 Resto Mod build. Going to keep the theme of the original trike while making a few tweaks along the way. I had been dragging my feet on rebuilding it, but when I noticed the carb boot from the airbox was torn that was it, she was getting torn down. Lol. Here is what I started with.

The front fender has just some light scratch marks on it front contacting the engine, but the frame appears straight, to my untrained eye.

Keeping the stock paint on the fuel tank. Not bad, but not very shiny...

WOW, The polish & wax job on the gas tank looks great. When I rebuilt my stock 70 I didn't paint the tank either. But after seeing how nice your tank came out with polish & wax, I think I'm going to be spending some more time on my stocky.
Your build is looking great. Thanks for sharing with use.
