Fizzaly, I'm glad I didn't wait for the week to cure on the chain wheel & one piece crank arms/axle, the day or two was ok to put them back together without really messing anything up too bad. The engine enamel built up and made tightening the chain wheel race & other side race back on pretty difficult. Fully cured and I think it might have been pretty tough getting the threads cut & cleaned to tighten the races properly. I had enough leftover paint to touch that up too. Already I'm falling just below the bar on getting this bike perfect like so many of yours, but maybe now that realize how tough it's going to be to get to what you did with the (lack of) facilities and resources I'm trying to do this with, I won't spend days trying to get it perfect. I definitely want to get the frame as prefect as possible, but there are threaded items such as the welded gyro mount that I'm going to have to be careful with or face those being i the same situation as the crank arms. Anyway, here's the crank parts assembled as far as they need to be at this point. Looks pretty good for a first timer ? LOL yeah, I have a clean older sock that I don't care about ever wearing on my hand. Keeps the fingerprints and smudges to a minimum.
