kpthorsefan 34 #64 Posted October 4, 2010 Wow, you have done a very nice job there Kevin Which paint did you use on that great paint job? Hi stigian, I took the plate that holds the rectifier on which had not faded cleaned it up then took it to a auto paint shop and had some mached up. That was the very fist time i had used a spray gun, my spray booth was my greenhouse , it did get a bit hot in there but i stuck at it, and i still have a red greenhouse .

kpthorsefan 34 #67 Posted October 4, 2010 That looks superb!! I have just managed to buy some rear weights like yours, they look good. Do I spy another red beast in the garage........? Top work, look forward to seeing the next one! Simon Hi simon, Yes its my C-121 i have had it for about 10 years now, thats what got me into the wheelhorses. I use it for work to cut an orchard for about two hours a month, and it does not get a lot of hammer and it gets wll looked after , I think i would have been lost with out it when putting the C-141 back together trying to find where some of the parts went . All the best kevin :USA: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
