I got an appliance box and cut it open. I screwed a wooden box frame into the side of the open top and attached some slats to that.

This allowed me to hang parts on some fishing line with large hooks. It also gave me a sturdy frame to place a 20" box fan to top of. I taped cheap furnace filters on to the incoming side of the fan to pull the air out of the box.

After I sprayed the parts, I would turn on the heat lamp. Inside the box, it would get really toasty so that helped cure the paint.
Hey Tim
Just a heads up, putting out in the hot Florida sun for an hour early in the morning..... worked pretty good, I let sit in the sun between coats too!!! It's at least something I can work with and wet sand and re paint and wet sand and buff!! Thanks for the tip!!!!
