I remember reading about your paint not drying. Your truck looks great now though! I think it has a lot to do with the weather right now and the fact that I'm an idiot and don't leave each coat long enough. The shop has heat but it's more for humidity control and when it's snowing outside it's probably only 50 or so degrees inside.

I spoke to my father inlaw last night and he said that he would have the cylinders done this week and hopefully get started on the pumps and valves as well... I'm a little excited... I hope he has the time.

Thanks Reg
