So cool!! I wish I could have been around to help more. I have been making some progress on my 40 though. I drove it from one side of the shop to the other today.

Awesome, that’s a big step. Hopefully you didn’t have to add gear oil to the t case after your drive.
Looking good. The cab would be too small for me but I'm sure it's good for people that are a little shorter.

So far, one thing I would change is the length of the cab. I would make it 3-4” longer, mostly for ease of mounting the fuel tank. I haven’t bolted the seats in yet, so we’ll see pretty shortly how it is for leg room. I’m pretty sure that the current configuration of the the rear wall won’t interfere with the seats.

Stripped the interior, and coated with two coats of Lizard Skin. First coat was sound deadening, which I sprayed on 2 days ago, second is ceramic heat insulation. Once this dries, it will get painted and covered with Kilmat. I also started sanding on some of the body filler last night, but don’t have any pictures of that.

Almost ready for primer again. Also today, almost finished the low range T case gears, installed rock lights, put all the wiring back inside the cab, and got the 38.5 boggers off these rims to go onto the bead locks.

Primer.

It’s definitely going to be short on body work, but it’ll be good enough to wheel. I have paint to go over the primer, Massey Ferguson gray
Also today got the 38.5 s onto bead locks, thanks again to @raanderson77

Me too, we have some of that color on our tractor
Are you talking the darker gray of the axles and engine or the lighter gray of the wheels?

I think it’s the darker gray judging by the little color block on the can. It says M.F. Gray, and looks pretty dark. I’ll soon find out, due to low temps last night I’m thinking of letting the primer cure for another day, although I’m not even sure if that’s necessary for this paint job.
It’s either Massey Ferguson gray or one of Samuel L Jackson’s custom colors, Mother F$&@?er gray. Either one works for me.

I feel like it’s missing some sweet flames

The flames are gone, it has a tractor paint job now.
you mean the flames are gone, for now...
So what I'm hearing is, you bring the yellow plasti dip spray, and I'll bring the red.

yellow and red mixed together make orange.
Incredibly useful knowledge.
