1952 Farmall Cub

A 1952 Farmall Cub that has been in storage for the last 8 years, after it was partially restored. While it looked as if it would be a simple matter of just slapping it together, finishing it has turned out to be more than anticipated. I realize that IH never painted a Cub yellow and white in 1952, but the previous owner had done such a nice job of painting that it seemed a waste to cover it over with red. Under the yellow/white was a layer of "industrial" yellow, and under that was the original red.
