on the paint you are using my question is at 5.00 a can is that a spray bomb? But for what I have saw so for it looks good

Yup, all my restorations are spray bomb. It is actually really great paint, that ceramic must really bring that color to life.

Well I would say this has to be better than what i have been using . Since I am going to be redoing 2 tractors this spring one is a 1965 sears and the other is a allis 914 when it gets nice out sears will be orange and want to do the allis in a red or yellow . SO where would i find that kind of paint since we only have a couple auto stores and ace so i dont have much to choose from

I buy the Duplicolor heat paint at Advance Auto Parts, but I am certain other auto stores sell it also, it is considered an engine paint.

Thanks Larry.

WOW on those pedals, it has to be those Lexus engines though, cause aren't the Lexus's having that same issue?

I didn't make any progress today. I did however receive my decals in the mail today. Two for the hood, ths shift pattern, and a decal for the Clinton engine. Tomorrow I will get something done though.

One step forward, three back.....

Took down front axle, noticed spots missed due to how i hung it, tried touchup, now I have think spots of paint... and I aint happy with it yet... So, off with the paint and I will try it again later this week.

Finished cleaning up the spindles and painted them before cleaning them off so I will have to try those again.. great...

I knew no good would come from minimal motivation today...

The year has gotten away and I made no progress on the Moto-Mower. However I did figure out that I have been "detached" from it long enough to not remember why I have to strip the paint back off cause it looks damn good.. hmm, next step will start next week, finish the spindles and reassemble the chassis minus trans, which will be cleaned up and painted by winter. But the goal is to have it a rolling restored chassis by winter. But anyway, just a quick update. This will have to wait til I get the Caterpillar (Craftsman) reassembled and out of the driveway where it has sat since June..
