Guest Posted January 5, 2006 Hi Dave, During high school I worked in a body shop. Sanding, buffing, clean up and all the other jobs nobody wanted to do. Many years ago an old timer taught me how to lay the paint on. I'll be ever so grateful to him. God rest his sole. Thanks for asking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roy 0 Posted January 5, 2006 Since painting and I do not "gee and haw" your work is absolutely beautiful. Tractor is too pretty to use but useless if you don't. Still remember the pain from the first few scratches on my new Sovereign. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandy_Lake_Imp 2 Posted January 5, 2006 Looking good Gary! I'm with Dave and can't wait to see it with the hood on it! Brenda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nighteye 0 Posted January 5, 2006 [:0] :D Awesome job Gary; That thing is looking better than when it came off the line. I know from experience (Search for "Powermax Project @ 99.6%" ) that you have many,many hours of work and thought into that piece of art. I fully intended to work mine this summer but ended up only putting a couple hours on it. Guess I just dont want to get it dirty yet. You have done a great job on that tractor. May it last another thirty or fourty years for you. Respectfully, Ken Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
