The 418-8 after the clean up and repairs

[bo dawg 621]

Well here is my recent 418-8 after the crud clean up, repairs, and then some quick paint. New seat as well. The tins had so much rust/blistered up metal that I thought I would sand the worst of them down and spray rusty metal primer and a quick coats of paint. Hopefully to stop further corrosion. I had some IH red on hand so thats what she got.

I know the paint color dont match with the hoods factory color, but I dont really care at this point. The hood was pretty clean and thats something I could do later time. Shes going to be a worker so it dont matter. 

It has one of the sweetest sounding motor that Ive ever heard, sounds better than my 418-A

I just got to finish painting the rear wheels black and it should be complete.

1 pic is the before, and 2 the after.
