Oh it's a blast to drive. Go cart on steroids

Another step closer to done! Gonna be neat when done!

is that some kind of catalytic converter under the carb/part of the exhaust manifold? kinda looks to have a choke stove built into it..big round section under the intake

Looks good, a lot of work going into that

Yep it is in fact a Catalytic converter.

Got some primer on the old girl last week.

You do nice work for sure!! --- I never was into painting much---used to all the time back in the 60's , now days just not enough hours in the days.

OK so I've never painted a car like this so I been watching you tube to see how to get the best results without spending the rest of my life doing prep work. One panel at a time...... so OFF with the doors, hood and trunk lid.





Had to cover up the engine then..

WOW! --- lotts work but looks like the way to go!

Yeah too much work but easier to paint this way. worked on the trunk tonight,... found a nice cap for the fuel fill pipe on the tank.

paint can top fit perfectly....

gotta get lucky sometimes!!

Worked on the hood a little before I painted the second tractor cover.... I'd like to punch the ass that sprayed the under side of the hood with undercoating. cant just sand that crap off or blast it off.. lots of scraping & I'm finding rust that should have been treaded not just covered.

Now THAT is some nasty stuff to remove. --- will a rag soaked in gas help soften any of it? --- Heat with small torch followed by rag? ---just thinking here!

I have actually been fairly lucky the biggest part of the hood on the sheet metal part it was kind of hard probably cook from the engine heat so most of that came off without too much fuss. it's the frame around the outside that that craps sticking to terrible and of course all the irregular shaped I can't get in there with anything neat it's a pain in the butt

made good progress tonight..

gotta treat the rust....

needle scalers!!! never had one but they look handy! --lookin good there!

They are awesome for getting thick scale of any kind off.

AHHH that looks better.....

looks like a new hood!
