I have never used the epoxy. I have had very good luck with Dupont 615/ 620 primer on bare metal. You mix half 615, half 620 then spray. You can even add a little more 620 to thin it a little more if necessary. You can even brush it. Once mixed you can't put it back in the can it came from. I sometimes put the remainder in a seperate sealed can to brush some small areas( The longer mixed after the first few hours the less good it is but I have brushed it a few days later on say a bolt with good results). The only drawback from using 615 and 620 is that it is intended for adheasion and not a fill primer. I usually give it 2 or 3 coats of 615/620, when it flashes off I then give it 2 or 3 coats of Dupont Imron. You could give it say 3 coats of 615 and 620, let it dry then scuff with a red pad in the spring then topcoat. I don't know if 615 and 620 is waterproof so I would keep the parts in a dry place so you don't get any light surface rust. If you need to use a fill primer, first use the 615 and 620 for adheasion (1 or 2 coats)let it flash off, then give it as many coats as needed to fill of Glasarite (I think the number is ) MS 285-22 waterproof fill primer. You can either let it dry until you are ready to paint in the spring, then sand it as smooth as glass, or when it flashes off, topcoat it. The only problem with the Glaserite is the cost$$$$$$. It is ok to mix these brands together.

The Fordson F Ignition System - by Anthony West. A fellow restorer contacted me earlier this year asking for some help and advice on a model F that he was restoring. He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
