Cruiser.

[YachtRat]

As many of you know, ive been looking into a cruiser but now i have solved my problem. i built one. This is by far the best carving/surfy feeling board. im really surprised considering i made it. it is 34" long, 10 " wide and a wb of 22" ive got r2 180, the only trucks i have and my old 85 kryptos. sweet ride. 8) i am yet to stain or paint it because of a stripped bolt but i really wanna finish it. any sugestions how to get the bolt out/undone?

you could cut the bolt, or you could drill down through it. I dont know if that would help any though.

i believe i might just leave it on. the trucks work really well on this and its an ezcuse for my dad to buy me new trucks

[YachtRat]

i now am faced with the descision of selling it for an unreasonable price in my favor to a silly german boy. Orrr i could keep it and enjoy it till it breaks. You decide.

hock it to the kraut! :P

[YachtRat]

nope. shes a keeper. In this day and age, its hard to find a decent gir....longboard so im gonna keep it. 8) Today i put a mc escher on the back with onionskin paper and so far, its working so ill be clearing and gripping tomorrow. Ist gonna be real nice this weekend up in the hills of penticton ( sure theyre not big but....) Its also good because its my granpas 100th birthday and ill be riding around from the store to hotel to reception place etc. Hes old. annnnd he still walks and has hair

its hella NOT hard to find a decent longboard these days. easier than ever.

[YachtRat]

true. true, but it is hard to find a decent longboard that was made by ME.

I've never heard of onion paper, only rice paper. is is essentially the same thing, or does one work differently than the other?

[YachtRat]

pretty much the same but its made like normal paper just real thin and it isnt made of rice. it doesnt go completely clear with clearcoat on it either like rice paper but depending on what you want, it works.

to get the bolt off use a dremel or similar with the real thin cutoff blades, you can cut right through that bolt in no time with damaging the baseplate.

I use these a lot on an old 49 Frazer I am fixing up, to cut out stripped bolts without using heat or messing up teh surrounding material, they also work great to cut out small rust holes where you don't need a full panel patch welded in.
