About two weeks ago I got sick of seeing the war department's Paramount with a dull finish from the urethane clear coat. So I pulled it apart and gave it the 2K treatment to get the proper gloss. After letting it cure for a while, I started putting it back together. It went fine until I got to a front wheel would not fit easily. Short story was that one of the fork blades was bent. It took about two hours to get it back to correct and then re-install. I am glad it was found before a test ride. Almost hidden without putting it in a jig but it was off by about an eighth of an inch and took a bunch of leverage to move the blade back in place. Now I can get back to the Ciocc build. Smiles, MH
