Though you can pull it farther apart, and do the paint, I believe the following
1} It needs to run first and foremost
a)Running will tell you so many things about it that will make your heart sing, that it is necessary.
2) The learning mechanic should never (ever) take more than one thing apart at a time. Doing so will confound the reason it will not start so badly that you will begin to hate it.
3} The moment you find that the tranny has a broken shift rail (and it is all apart) you will want to shed yourself of the entire project.
4} It can be painted very well with all parts put together except hood and some tin pieces.
5} The longer things are apart the harder they are to ever put back together. The engine is apart, put it back together before any other fragments of how to remember leak away. (believe this, I have had Allison 10 speed automatics laid out on four benches for one trans. If I had left it for even a day It would have been a disaster)
6} The fact of tool ownership (compressor) is not a reason to use it.
7} to become a painter of quality, become a volunteer with a paint/body expert and get experience cleaning his/her equipment to their satisfaction. Learn mixing. Learn humidity control, Learn finish preparation. Learn patience.
Learn more patience.
8} Use the paint you have on it foe protection for the time being. It will not hurt a thing being there, and you will make me happy.

Your experienced friend Jim!

Today's Featured Article - A Question for Dads This recent topic from the Tractor Talk discussion board is being highlighted because it is an awesome display of the caliber of individuals that have made this site their own. The young person asking questions received positive feedback and advice from total strangers who "told it like it is" with the care many reserve for their own kids. The advice is timeless... so although it isn't necessarily antique tractor related, it will be prominently displayed in our archives to honor those who have the courage to ask and those who have the courage to respond in an honest, positive manner. ...
