I agree with you Edd. Whatever you wish to do with your engine is fine
(except maybe painting it bright pink). I tend to lean to a full restoration
with a good finish (tough not overdoing it). I was going to paint my big
Stover YC but I am getting used to it in its working clothes. All the R&Vs
will get a good paint job eventually as R&Vs were very well finished from
the factory.
To each is own. If we all liked the same thing it would be a boring hobby ;)

Tis what turns you no.Both ways have there place.A prober restoration using
all correct parts, correct colour etc gives future restores a benchmark to
work .The same again without the paint job is also very desirable especially
if there is some original finish still on the engine.Some shows here give
trophies.I have won many for my highly restored Galloway and also my
Ottawa.I have won many for my New Holland and now my Foos which are
unpainted.Especially the New Holland ,it has most of its paint.So it is all
in the eye of the beholder.
