thanks for the info, that helps,
as far as painting the plastics, iam actually using Lamborghini Lime green auto paint, a flex is getting put into it, so it can handle a small amount of bending, but i can guarentee a good crash or a huge flex will crack and chip the paint. But these are getting built and more or less put into a show room. ill probably never ride these ones. the other 2 that iam building, iam going to BEAT THE HELL OUT OF!..lol..and then iam restoring the 74 back to original condition, and that will be my daughters first bike in about 3 years.
