1983 SE Racing P.K. Ripper
1983 SE Racing P.K. Ripper
Black, Gold and Chrome. C4 Powder; All NOS Parts
I started with an admiration of the PK the neighbor kid had. I watched the market for several years, before finding just the right deal. $200 BIN complete on the bay got me off and running. A C4 powder and a long time of acquiring all NOS parts got me a 1st Place "People's Choice" in the first show. This year, I went back and defended the title for my category to win 1st again. Hurray!

Re: 1983 SE Racing P.K. Ripper
I love this. I especially love the way you have incorporated the chrome in with the gold and black. Excellent. Certainly one of my faves.

Re: 1983 SE Racing P.K. Ripper
My story is the same as yours about the kid down the road having a Ripper.
I just haven't had the funds to do one like this.
Un fricken real man.....
Let's face it, after a long day, sometimes all you want to do is flop down on the couch, flip on the TV, and chow down on an easy-to-eat dinner.

Against the will of the wife it lies downstairs. Parts from years ago and from many members here. It's fun. I will learn to add photos and do so.

Re: 1983 SE Racing P.K. Ripper
I am pretty sure this could not be re-done. Other than frame it is all NOS.
