Ian and Toni,

A few Olds engines painted here have been done in Indian Red.  Looks good,
but dont know if thats the right colour.  I have a few Olds engines and have
corresponded with Rex Mesner in the US.  We have helped each other before
etc.  Contact me off list for some contact details.  My web shots will have
a few pics - none painted though.  There were some good pics taken at
Coolsprings a few years ago:
