well i just have to say the using a dehumidifier to help dry paint and help it get hard is a good idea...I shot a scrap peace of metal with both colors and went to scratching it and its almost done.....

[banana seat Brian]

Ok it is almost done----here are the pic's
Now all I have to do is get the headlight cleaned up and change the crank set so rat rod can get it in a trade,,,,ALMOST done,
please post what you think-----

ok I need a little help,,asap....i put on the crank and went for a ride,,,got going and the crank got a little play in it and started clicking,,,got home and took it off and the bearing was all bent up and the balls fell out,,,crap,,,i put in a new one but i dont understand how to adjust it,,,can some one tell me what to do?help help,,,

[johnny nightwolf]

When you put the crank on, did you forget to use a lock washer? that could be why everything loosened up.

[banana seat Brian]

no its on there

[johnny nightwolf]

I got nothing... Did you maybe put the bearing in backwards? Maybe they're too small for the bearing cups? Is the crank tweaked out of true? I don't know what else might have done it... Sorry bro!

[banana seat Brian]

well i fixed it,,,,i had to change to a new crank,,,that one was shot,,,so i had to put back on the bmx crank,,,,sorry rat rod

[Boris]
