Just got the car finished up today. The engine had caught fire and burnt the paint off the hood and fenders, the hood was warped pretty bad but I got it looking good. I only painted the front end.

Nope, it belongs to an older lady who's husband bought it for her right before he died. If it were mine it would be orange with some weld racing wheels.

Great job Tim. That paint job is money, you can't even tell new vs old. What engine is in it? V8? W, C, M?

It's a v8 but I'm not sure what it is, the engine was rebuilt at another shop before it came to us for the bodywork.

Good video. Speaking as an amateur that has gotten lucky on a few projects (including sanding down some Teak speaker cabinets), I can tell you that the only way I can "feel" much of anything is with a Durablock and some sort of guide coat (on the wood I could just vaguely dampen the surface with water to raise the high spots... can't do that with steel). Before I got a couple a big blocks I re-did lots of rattle-canning.

I'd like to know how you body magicians deal with complex/hard angles (the 1x9/QL hood scallops, the ones that slope downward toward the dash) come to mind. I know there are various different blocks and stuff you can buy, but I can't wrap my mind around how to get those angles really sharp while keeping everything else flat. When I look at that panel I just envision myself sanding gallons of material before I got it right.

I'll let you paint mine for free if you want to cover the topic. Oh, what the hell, I'll even cover shipping.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
