I did finally get some paint on the 57 and am having a pretty good time putting it back together. I'll be burning lots of wood in the shop stove this winter

I used a Sikkens dark red code off a 2011 Pierce engine. I believe the painter called it vermillion

Thanks! Looks good, I'm looking for a color for my next fire engine project which I hope to start on later this year.

MikeB I thought you were going to restore that 56 9200 tractor. Been waiting to see that one done.

Nope, the Brush engine is next (have almost all of the parts for that one here)...I may take a little time off between the '56 3100 I'm working on now and the brush engine to do some other small projects I've been putting off. The goal is to have the 3100 done this Spring.

The LCF will be done after the brush engine....the plan now is to make the LCF a tractor to pull a low-boy with the brush engine on the trailer.

I like to Dream BIG...lol! grin
