I agree 100%:beerchug:

Same here!

You have done a great job with that tractor. I sometimes think about doing mine that way, base coat clear coat, but it takes a lot of abuse, I don't know, maybe some day.

As of right now, I'd be happy just to have it running again.

thanks everyone,
today I got the clutch/drive shaft in. the wire harness and the engine put in place.

check out my shifter knob and cig lighter :bigthink:

Thanks for the pics and update!

got all the body work done and the parts in a reduced coat of epoxy to fill the 220 sand marks. I'll 600 wet sand them next then seal and paint tomorrow sometime.

the bottom side of the fenders got a coat of bedliner. there was so much surface rust here I wanted to protect better then the paint/clear will. it'll still get painted.

Doug,
Great idea on the bed liner coating on the insides of the fender. I assume you sprayed that on too! Man you are talented when it comes to prep and paint work! This 582 is one "spoiled tractor"!
Regards,
Chris

Great idea on the bedliner. I have a similar issue on one Im getting ready to do, thanks for the idea.

Very nice!

no, I didnt put it on. I know a guy that knows a guy thats knows a guy kinda deal. the stuff you buy in the rattle cans is not as good as this stuff. you can scrap a puddy knife across this stuff and it'll spark.

the guy did the inside of my trunk on my trans am 4 years ago. and the stuff still looks brand new. but I dont put anything in my trunk to scratch it.
