To paint it all red or paint it with my own paint job???

[Frank DeHaven 27]

So I am not sure if I should paint it all red (original) or put a touch of my thinking into it.

Any custom paint jobs out there that I can see??

It's your tractor do what you want with it. Many other people have. All red becomes a bit too much, it's nice to break it up a bit. That's my feeling anyway.

Well.  So here's the thing.  

😁

 

IMHO the Wheelhorse tractor is a Pinnacle machine. Absolute Apex.  

But.... It's too much red for me. 

 

My Honey/BBT/The Paint Department/Trina and I have done 4 full frame off restorations now. 

None are stock colors. 

Two are a slightly brighter red with the standard off-white as a trim and engine color. 

One is my Cinnamon Horse.  

The last is her Military Tribute Tractor,  Millie.

This a before n after of her first restoration. 657 named Pony.  

 

 

 

 

Here's the Military Tribute as it was built 2 years ago.  

We're just finishing up it's 2nd full restoration this weekend. Engine, transmission and several other things being swapped out or refreshed.

To paraphrase Clark Gable Frankly I don't give a d**n about what color it is... so long as it works...

Or if you even paint it... they look pretty cool in their original skin...

Your tractor, your choice!

Absolutely your choice I think by the time I got to the hood I was getting tired of the same color

I like them to look like the day they left the factory, or maybe a little nicer! Cecil Pond said to me once when he saw my C-121 automatic,  “It didn’t look this nice when it left the factory!” That made me smile for about a week! I definitely do appreciate the customs also, some guys pull off some pretty cool things. 
Here’s a few pics, I have plenty of worker tractors too but I’ll save those pictures for another thread!
