Cool. I got my PK Ripper from Surrey Skateboards/BMX in 1982. Keep us updated with pics.

Totally rad! It doesn't get much better than a TA for me, and this looks like a sweet one.

In for the progress reports and pics!

Very nice, I sold my chrome TA when I was 17 for about ?60 to put towards parts for my first car $:-\$

Always wanted another, good luck with the build
