Tractor engine

Spiderz · September 8th, 2009, 07:41 PM

Yea so I painted the 351 I am putting in my car and my cousin walks in the shop and starts laughing and says "Why did you do that, it looks like a tractor motor now."

On a side note, does anyone else hate when people call engines motors? Motors are electric!

He's right...it does look like a color used by one of the major tractor manufacturers. I'll send this pic to a farmer buddy of mine and he can tell us which one.

It's Ford Blue. Anyway I guess it gets the point across. I wanted it to look pretty much stock and/or bland. I wanted that. Something that would be easy to clean. This way works since it's mostly one color, also because of the color if it ever flakes or gets scratched it'll be easy to fix.

The only blueish head weren't from tractors but International truck heads. I've seen tons of green, black, red, and yellow, but only a few blue?!?

So, in my books, it doesn't look like a tractor motor...I just said motor!!!!

That is goofy...have you ever seen a starter engine on a gasoline motor?!?
