I can see the rain has stopped and made some room for Sun paint shine!

Rain and cold…:( no paint today…

 

But…! Got a goodie bag from @Vinylguy!!! Full decal set for the C 85 and some fun ones for the Agrifab “Wheel Horse Wanna-bee” trailer. As always, quick and great quality!!! :clap:

Almost as nice as Bob's @BHunter kid's paint job Silvia ... maybe you should  sit it on a class or two of his! :ychain:

I would be interested in knowing exactly how you taped off that hood, to paint the black.  Thanks  Greg

Blue painters tape. Very slowly… Pressed tight only at the leading paint edge. The 4 curves were done with several small pieces overlapping to get the curve… Sorry I didn’t get a pic…

Quality not even close to @BHunter and his crew… I am going for a decent look but primarily to stop the rust… I am not a detailed paint guy… I’d be in the corner of his class with the pointy WH hat on… :occasion-clown:

Had some shop help in from out of town… needed the expertise and muscle to remove the wheels for painting and new shoes… they showed me how to use a c clip remover, impact driver, socket wrench and a lift… I had to pay them, as usual, with a :wh: ride and pizza…

Sounds like you got your "money's" worth :)

I would happily do that deal all day long. My helper's favorite tool is the drill press!

Use what's available :handgestures-thumbupright:

 

I've got an old deck of cards saved, that gets used for that purpose.

Decided to repair the original fender pan… keep it original for a bit longer until I break it for good…

 

A big thank you to @cafoose for offering a metal pan and to @pullstart for volunteering to get it to Michigan from the Big Show… I greatly appreciate you offering!!! I’m guessing it’ll be used by someone else - perhaps @pullstart can expand his Black Hood collection at the show… :ph34r:
