That's going to look so good you won't want to drive it and scatch the paint

Guys, First some bling for the old CA.
Back to Bondo on Bondo off:
I will not make this tractor look so good that we wont pull it.
These Allis hoods, if you have ever tried to improve one, are a challenge. At least to me.
These next pictures are pieces that are ready for the next coats of primer:
More tweaking of the sides of the hood.
not too exciting stuff. I did get a temp gage installed. Also ordered a pulling ring/ hitch for pulling.
Regards, Chris and Cheryl

i have a plywood "hood holder" similar to yours... Your right, there just is not a good way to HOLD that hood while you work on it !

I like your plywood but. I made one for a Cub I was working on. Went one step further and screwed it to a block that was screwed to a wood sawhorse. Pretty stable setup
Nice work BTW

Guys, John and I sanded the sheet metal and I filled in some areas with Bondo. Then used some of the 2K primer to cover these items again. That is a high fill type primer. Had to change the gun nozzle tip to a size 2 was 1.4. Then the paint went on pretty even and wet. Will see how it looks tomorrow. I would like to spray some color in the next few days.
Sorry, pretty boring Allis stuff! Regards, Chris and Cheryl
