Kinda funny where a guy draws the line when working on a rat. :) Are you going to sand and re-shoot the whole thing or just that spot?

It looks real good, HR. What paint did you use?

I used Vandykes tracter paint sold at the local tractor supply. only $30 a gallon it is catilized . the primer and paint, hardener and all other supplies around $200 and a couple months work glad thats finished.
 
got the engine and tranny bolted in and started the wiring.
