    Non-catalyzed Paint Durability

    Hello again all, I'm midway through painting my M35 the Gillespie 24087 that I got from Rapco. They said to reduce it using xylene (I'm using mineral spirits because California is, well... you know.) That said, Rapco said not to put any hardener in the paint because it will darken the color. I...

    Between now and the end of the year is perfectly fine with me!

    2014 VIN Info Thread

    I don't mean to pry but when should I expect a response for my truck? Not being impatient, but an estimate of how long it might take seems like a good note to add to the first page so that we know how long it normally takes. Thanks again!

    Color Confusion/Identification

    The 24087 OD Green is the one I thought was too brown. I might just end up painting it that, and just getting over it but would it be acceptable to paint it the 24052 USMC Forest Green? I'm struggling with the 1966- rebuilt in 1983 thing and what would be accurate vs good looking, and the 4...

    Color Confusion/Identification

    Hello all, first thing you should know is that I am partially colorblind, especially toward green and brown. That said, I need help identifying these colors from my truck. I keep looking for a good color for my truck (going for Vietnam era, she's a 1966) but all I get is an OD Green that just...

    Determining Tire Age

    Strange considering I thought both of those Titan tires were the newest of the batch, I guess I'll run all the 1999/2000 ones on the back, get rid of the armstrongs from 1989 and buy two new fronts from Coker... Unless anyone knows where to get them less than $320 apiece :doh:

    Determining Tire Age

    Here are three codes from tires I just bought, the one that says MILITARY is the one I am confused with. The other two seem to be from 2000 and 1999 (judging by the triangle). Is it safe to run these? Not many cracks at all, and they would look better than the silly road tires on it now...

    Determining Tire Age

    I'm not sure if I should be posting a new thread or not, but I was confused so here goes. I read that the DOT date codes go to 14 characters after 2000. I have a Titan tire which has a 14 digit code, but if what I read is right (week/week/year/year) my tire is from 1987... That doesn't make...
