I think you did real good! I've not seen pics of a decal'd one, so I don't know if I would like it or not. Guess when I order a sticker kit, it will have one so I can decide then. Great job Mike!

Well Alvy, doing your best is all anyone can ask, and the dash looks darn good to me.
What you using for paint?
Keep up the good work.

Thank you all for the compliments. Well, I didn't want to use the ole TSC paint because of the dry time and other issues but I had used it on the fenders which have been done now for quite a while and I was afraid that doing the rest with something else wouldn't match.

I have learned through everyone here about other paints and better paints later on in this project. I used TSC majic school bus yellow, their hardener, and their brand thinner. Mixed it 4:1:1. I have an old scholl Binks syphon feed gun from the 80s. It actually surprised me this time, I finally got to paint in lower humidity and it seems cured now in a couple days, I'm happy with it. I used the Lew method of using Rustoleum Almond for those parts. Lots of filler primer and filler in the fenders.

My 4 digit O is next to do and I purchased some of the real good epoxy primer, I think it's a lesser brand of DuPont, Omni I think?

Always been a mechanic but never a body man but I'm taking small steps, it's always fun to do it yoursled and learn something new.

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.
