Restoring my C160

[whfan74 2,015]

That is coming along very nicely! Great attention to detail!

Hey is that the hood in the corner of one of the pictures waiting it's restore?

Can't wait to see the finished product! :)

You are doing a very amazing job on this, keep up the nice work. I have a 74 8 speed that is due some attention after I get off my butt and finish up the suburban. :USA:

very very nice, great job love the ag's on the front

this is a rebuild to be proud of :USA:

What a great job! What I like best about this restore is that you are not painting every surface with red especially on the engine. It's a restore you should be proud of!

very sharp :)

[Wheelbearing 49]

New Hydraulic lines as well?

Tom, I went with the PPG Omni 4021 Wheel horse red.

Scott, that hood will be used and the next one.

pumper.atv, I'm too slow.

Micah, I went with zinc plating on some parts just to add a little "color".

Wheelbearing, I bought the fittings and hoses from discounthydraulichoses.com.

Thanks for the compliments, I'll keep grinding away.

[Raider 2]

Looks great! Which fittings and hose did you use and have you had a chance to run and test the hydraulics yet?

[KC9KAS 4,741]

Looks very nice!

I'm looking for front tires right now...your ags look great!

[sgtsampay 117]

It couldn't be more prurdy. Congrats!

Raider,

I haven't run it yet because the dipstick didn't paint the dipstick yet, when I shoot the pan and hood and air cleaner I'll splash some paint on that.

6801-04-05 90 deg elbow 1 ea

Looks great,nice work!, Rick

[massey 111]

Thanks Rick and welcome back, hope everything's going all right.

Well, it's been slow going but it does start real nice and sound good, it has forward and reverse motion, and the hydraulic lift works nice so I'm happy about that. I painted the hood and some other parts. Had no luck finding a belt guard so I picked up a sheet of 16ga cold rolled and commenced-a-bending. The original was 18ga but I figured why not go a little stronger.

It's looking real nice. Great job on the belt cover. I need to do some metal work myself if I ever get the time and room.

I finally got all the painting done . I just need to let it set up for a few days then I can install it and apply the decals. The fender pan was a bear, it was bent, tweaked, dented, oil canned, and I think they used it for a step ladder at some point. I almost can't wait to start the next one which is a 1975 C-160 8 speed.

[wheelhorse656 20]

buetiful paint job :)

[jasoncracer 0]

assuming you used rattle can what brand and type?

[massey 111]

Jason,

I used ppg's omni acrylic enamel with an hvlp gun. It's actually all together and decaled, I just need to get some pics on here.
