Original Hood PAINS
I'm trying to restore my 1961 CC Original and so far the hoods are being a real PITA. Every time I think I have found a good one with NO crease in the front, sure enough after I get them sandblasted it stands out like a bad pimple.
Is there anyway to hammer that crease out and make the hood look nice !? I went to a body shop with the first one and it looked great; that is until I tried to put the hood ornament on that now won't lay flat because the bondo is too thick. Any tricks I could use here ?   C&O2-10-4

"Any tricks?"
Mine was rolled under as most are. Hammer, dolly and a 2x4 is what I used to get it close. Then finished it off with filler. But most of the filler was sanded away, so thickness wasn't an issue.  For someone as myself who isn't in the auto body refinishing business, just took time, and many roll away, and come back later breaks...  Tim (0lds45512) would be the guy to help you out. He's the forums expert body guru.

Did you supply the hood ornament to the bodyman doing the work so he could test fit it through out the work to make sure it would fit properly?

Oh it can be fixed.. I'm no bodyman but I have seen my friend do wonders with a hammer and dolly and like Tim and Todd said.. it takes time and patience.. you can't just whack away on it.. small little pecks and the right touch.. You will likely need just a bit of filler but most of that will be sanded back off and you will need to test fit the ornament as you go.. There aren't many true body men left at body shops anymore. It is a craft that takes a special touch.. Insurance work did away with most of the true craftsmen that could hammer anything straight!
At one time Aaron over at Xtreeme Motorworks was making new repro hoods.. All of his stuff is top notch so you may want to check them out.

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.
