I was kind of wondering that as the hydro was only half painted, but i opted to just straighten it all out at one time. We will see how it holds up to the heat.
The next step is sandblasting of the rest of the chassie components. Waiting on the fine folks at the farm store to get the rest of my paint in. The Van Sickle stuff is outstanding in the rattle cans. The sheen is great and its pretty tough even without a clear coat.
The plan of now is to do the enitre chassie and then rebuild the engine. It was running and cutting when i took it out so im hopeing that it will be rather straight forward... but we all know how that goes.
Still looking for a mule drive if anyone has one they would like to sell or trade.
Im going to try to get the thread a little more technical as i go along to help some other out. I know i would have never taken on this project if it were not for Steves 1650 build on this site. So hopefully i can give some others encouragment.
