Desisions and more decisions

We finally got some decent weather so I could get the roof for my fabricated 2 post canopy on my 1963 831C eagle hitch tractor painted. After looking at it, I have decided to paint the front and rear panels where the amber lights are mounted, desert sunset to give the roof more presents.
The other issue I have is the front fender that I built. It makes the front look a bit heavy. Still pondering weather to paint the entire fender desert sunset or just add some desert sunset striping to pull the eye, and lighten it, so to speak. Guess you will have to stay tuned to what I decide with the fender. My son says to take it off, but I like the way it keeps all the mud off the belly and the steps that I built for the tractor.

Still wish you lived next door! Anyway I would paint the inside of the fender desert sunset and leave the outside "U" shape the way it is.
 
That really looks sharp Loren! I'm torn on the fender color tho. But what you really need is some pin striping on the rear fenders and canopy sides. In my humble opinion of course. Of course I don't want my opinion to get me put on the list.
 
Looks great and nice design. My eye tells me that my preference would be to have the front guard to be desert sunset from the bumper up which keeps the line even with the grills, then leave everything else as is. The idea for pin striping the canopy rails would be nice.
 
I know they have a function, but not crazy about the front fenders. As usual.....beautiful workmanship!!
 
Every ones eye sees some thing different . And please don't take this as a criticism , you do work far beyond any thing I could ever accomplish , but the brush bumper/grill protector , hides the beauty and style of the front end of the tractor. It would be a very good thing to have on the front if the tractor was going to have a loader , or work in harsh conditions, and looks very well done ,but as I said just my eye.
A person would be hard pressed to recognize the tire old tractor that you dragged home , in that beauty. Real nice work . Bruce
 
I would like to say that anyone that doesn't like your beautiful tractor should simply turn there head the other way. I have never been a fender or brush guard person but yours are nice.
