Good job, Chris, glad you got it up to par. That's some really nice, straight sheetmetal on that girl, too. I think she deserves (and I highly recommend) a can or two of International Harvester Red spray paint to hold you over until you get a real paint job. A nice, bright coat of fresh paint will draw the eyes and attention away from many faults and provide nearly instant gratification for you! A good method, aside from a little surface prep if needed, is to go by the John Deere dealership and pick up several pamphlets on whatever icky green stuff they're pushing so you can hold them with your non-spraying hand to shield parts that you don't want to paint; you can get good coverage very close to things this way without having to do alot of taping and masking. Heck, I bet for the price of a couple of cans of spray paint, you could forego the expensive tires and no one would notice the older tires, because they'd be drooling over all that fine, straight sheetmetal and wonderfully shiney I/H Red! And even though you have those hot rod pistons hiding in there, I'd try to resist the temptation to paint flames on the hood- just let her stay a "sleeper".
Just a thought, you know. ;) :D

P.S. I really do envy all that straight sheetmetal and grill- very nice.
