If you need any pointers on rust and paint removal, by all means ask the group.
I also wanted to ask what kind of fix up are you planning? I cant stray too far from the original scheme, myself. Good luck!

not going too wild, just enough mods that people will know it's custom and not stock.......i know the metal is going to need some bodywork to eliminate the pits, and i may need to rebuild the area where the steering tower bolts to, as long as i can get a k motor to run for this beast i will finish it.
i do not want to build a show tractor, every one of my cubs will have to work, need to enjoy them not look at them.
