Here is my 1979 ATC110. I did it in a patriotic theme. This will be my mini racer for TF and my campsite cruiser. It wasn't much too look at when I bought it. Here are a few before and after photos.

What did you do with the trailpros?

I put them on my 1975 ATC90. As soon as I replace them with Cheng Shin Knobbies- I will burn them! I hate them with a passion! But can't afford to replace them yet!

Where did the seat cover come from? It looks very cool and "old school".

Good luck finding flame hot enough to burn them. A friend of my uncles cousins half brother threw a set down into a burning volcano in the early 80's, the volcano erupted in the mid 90's - the volcano itself caused no damage but the eruption sent the tr41lpr0s flying - they hit two of the villagers - killing them on the spot.

It is an IMS tank - made for 1970and up US/ATC90 and 110 thru 1979. I found it in the back yard at the local salvage yard. It was painted - and I tried (spent 2 hours) sanding - and could not get it all off. So I primed it and painted over it. Not sure how the gas will react - prolly bubble out pretty badly - but I have painted the stock one the same way so I can always put it back on.

Doug - the Mosh's made me that seat - I have always had it in my head how it would look. I had so many comments on the seat cover when it had the red tank on it because it looked like the Cat in the Hat's hat!!!!

I did have silver wheels on it and it looked OK - but personally I like the gold wheels with the red white and blue theme better. Silver was just too plain!

Maybe I should put a gold engine in it - LOL:lol:
