Hi all-- My first question has to do with paint on my 1948 VAC. I am using the Flambeau Red color and it has come out very orange. After looking at numerous other VAC projects, I am seeing multiple variations, anywhere from a reddish-brown to almost Allis Orange. My mother is about ready to strangle me, saying that I have a Case tractor with Allis paint. (Her 1947 VAC is next up for restoration) Any advice on this? #2. Which way do the rear rims go? Smooth hump side out or smooth hump side in? I have seen both and the before pics I have of mine show the hump in. Same way with my mothers 1947. I have seen pics of other restorations that have the hump out. Something to do with the wheel weights? A guess there. Any help here? Thanks for any advice.

The most controversial tractor color in history would be Flambeau Red (or orange if you like). Every photo you see shows it to be a different shade of something for some reason. Go with what you have and it'll be fine, nobody's going to worry too much about it. I still wonder why they called it Flambeau RED. If you asked 100 schoolkids what color it is, 99 would say orange, no question about that.
