I do not know, but suspect it means allowing it to "go off" so all the volatile chemicals evaporate before going to the next step. Also known as cure.

I'm wondering how come my wife doesn't let ME paint my parts in the living room. How do you get away with it?

I asked him that awhile ago.
He said it was simple, the Burb is hers.

Not all done today,
Decided to rebuild the front end on my 64 SWB.
Bought some MOOG parts off Amazon


tore down the front end

Paused for an adult beverage


stripped arms down


no real clean up, it's just an old beater


Going back together



Brake rebuild next.......

[iceship]

C10... I found out my 6.0 needs a full rebuild do to 2 bad rods... So I'm going to take it slow on the build....
Jimmy... fix my speed problem...

got my farm fresh hood!!!!

SLOWLY making progress as a part-time weekend warrior.

Rebuilding the 1986 front axle assembly to replace the '64 unit. New front axle u-joint installed and finally got the steering arm and tie rod nuts removed (with a little help from the torch!).

Steering arm removal is next once I get the cones out. That should be fun!

OK pimpston65, I agree that's a nice hood. At least what I can see is really nice. What about the lower front flange? Chevy or GMC hood?

You weren't kidding. Looks MINT to me. Nearly NOS in fact. Wanna trade? I have a slightly dented blue hood that needs work. Haha! LOL! Of course you'd have to pay the shipping. Seriously, that's a nice score, especially in your part of the world where rust gets everything.

While cutting I figured out that when hornet nests are hidden behind panels and catch fire, they really stink!

I entered my truck in it's first car show today. I wasn't expecting coming home with any trophies because I came late to the show. It turned out to be a good day, I came home with six and one of them was best in show.
