Re: wood spoke paint?
I used a regular oil based primer, like you would use for the wood on your home. Use black, not white! After sanding that I shot them with a single stage automotive enamel. That has plenty of flex, it won't crack.

Re: TT Racing.
Dallas;
You’re around Kendalville, aren’t you? I’m wondering what road you were on and where, I’m usually in that area visiting family a few times a year. All of my wife’s family is in NE Indiana. Their last name is Bontrager..... sorta like Smith in most places!
That really was a great story!

It took some setup but worked very well. The other was to grind 1/2 of the lip off of the spool so it ...

It sounds like the rear cross member may not be Allowing the rear spring to be square to the frame. It wouldn’t take much of an angle to push the Center point of the rear axles back 1/2”
