The clear says i should wait 7 days for it to cure.. do i really need to wait this long?
 
DO I HAVE TO LET MY PAINT AND CLEAR CURE FOR 7 DAYS?! I WANNA PUT THIS THING TOGETHERRRR Lol
 
well you don't have to let it set for 7 day's but i would let it set for atleast 4 day's and be really careful when putting it together..... longer it sits the stronger the clear becomes.......
 
yeah.. i should wait the 7.. :( I wanna ride this bikeee guyssss
 
If it was mine I'd put it together........and then cuss and complain about all the scratches and fingerprints I put in the clear during assembly and say how next time I'm gonna wait for 7 days. But then the next time I'd do it again. :oops:
 
Yeah.. Idk. I want it 2 look the best it can.. I mean seriously, i put out big bucks for this paint job! lol Almost $20.00!! lol

Wait a full day or 2 and then go for it. $20= 3 cans of magic for a old frame.

Looks great. Glad your dad found the right bolt.
 
Thanks c-man, He actually fixed the old one. :)

He drilled out the old one, where the like threads were... He then got another bolt, cut the head off so he had a piece of threaded rod, He tapped the drilled hole, screwed in the piece of rod, had my uncle weld it and he grind it, You cant even tell he did it. Pop's is amazing haha.

Yeah i gotta have her done, im probably riding my bike to the woodward cruise :D :D :D Im excited haha.
 
Going outside to assemble my front end. :) Wish me luck huh. ;)
 
get to it ricky, luck. yep, i would wait at least 7 days. i generly wait 2 weeks an put my painted parts in the house where its warmer all the time. good lookin ride dude, you kick.
