    Looking good one color, I like your masking paper. Looks like you used plenty of lubricant, we 5836BC12-4110-4719-BE8F-B2EAC532FC1F.jpeg use to use a lot of end rolls of rapping paper and news paper. There was a commercial print shop about a block away from the shop and they had a lot of scraps.

    Great build and RPU. You nailed it and thoroughly enjoyed it.

    Peck, I love this build post but I have a question, I like how you cut down your pedals and I am thinking about doing the same thing although, do your heals hit the pedal arm when you work the pedals?

It took the slop out. Will get pics when I disassemble for painting, I hope to paint steering wheel soon also. Atleast I finally clocked it right.

    6A7AF567-B2CB-4C81-AF32-3EF44843F03F.jpeg Today I order ceramic beads to balance the tires , I mounted tires myself and never got around to having them balanced. Really not that bad , but could be better.

It drives squirrelly ass crazy, so today I yanked apart and gonna pie cut 5-7 degrees in it and weld back together.
