Put her outside in the sun and it'll cure faster. This is one reason why I like to use a hardener, I was able to sand and reshoot the door on my deuce within one day of painting it

The guy who sold me my WC-21 made some repro "King Bee" marble reflectors but stopped doing it years ago. these were used on most pre 1940 trucks ( mil & Civie ) so someone somewhere has got to be making them ( Try also using "King Bee marble" as a search )

I bought mine at Memphis ( around $25 ) as mentioned you have to call and ask. I also used Permatex ultra black gasket sealer/maker just to piss off the next guy who pulls the pan :mrgreen:

For deuce/truck painting I prefer a remote gun ( pressure pot ) Professional HVLP Spray Gun Kit however as far as the HF gravity feed gun goes, I painted my daughters VW with one and was very happy with the results,with that being said my deuce took 7gals whereas my daughters car took only 3qts...

A friend of mine got pulled over by DOT while driving a fuel truck and the officer had him pump the brakes till the air pressure got low enough the set off the buzzer ( key on engine off ), He said if that buzzer hadn't of come on than he would have gotten a ticket. I got pulled over in my...

I set mine at 2°btdc ( sea level ) and she ran good. Later I set the timing using a vacuum gauge which calls for 17-21inches for a good setting, I got mine to 20inches with a nice steady needle on the gauge ( engine at idle ), When I checked the timing mark it was now at 4°btdc and she ran like...

Don't know if its still up but does anyone have the link to PS Magazine article on making wood wheel chocks?, I can make/buy chocks but just want to do the mil spec ones.
