Stephen also sent me a copy to review and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It would have been good to know the total cost of restoring a tractor to this standard. I guess restoring the original panels is the most expensive process, as it was so time consuming at Maine Surface Finishers. This cost would be eliminated if the restorer were to do the job him/herself and just needed to buy the materials. I learnt lots about the tinwork preparation - panel beating, sandblasting, applying filler and sanding it down etc. I would have appreciated a little bit more info on how to set the paint sprayer, as I'm certain there must be lots of 'tips and tricks' in getting the process right. A good DVD and well worth the money if you have a 135, and would also recommend even if you have another model of tractor. Happy Christmas and best wishes for the New Year, Steve. Hi Tim,
