    Curing time for Gillespie paint

    RE: Paint I used 24052 out of a spray can. Put primer on, waited two hours, then put two coats of paint. After I painted, I moved it inside (70 deg F) and presumably low humidity since it has been cold outside and the dog shocks me when I pet her. If I want to put another coat on, do I need...

    Curing time for Gillespie paint

    How long does it take for Gillespie paint to fully cure (harden)? I painted my windshield frame 24 hours ago and the paint is dry but very soft (I can mess it up with my fingernail).

    Tires

    How do people generally buy tires and get them mounted? I was considering buying tires from Coker on-line, but would I then take them to a tire place to have them mounted and balanced? Can normal tire places handle tires with tubes?

    New Project - 1953 M38A1

    Hey all, just bought a 1953 M38A1 that I'm going to pick up this weekend. When I take a look at this thing, how can I tell if the "numbers match" between the frame, body, and engine? Supposedly, a "good" 12 volt conversion was done that will be easy to switch back to 24V. What do I need to...
