Yow! Ever think of doing it for a living :lol: .

Quick and a nice looking paint job. Pretty soon all the Cubs down that way will be wearing a nice 'coat' at the rate you work.

We don't take turns. You gotta jump in and grab one before they're all gone. :lol:

Seriously, you'll find the right one. And when you see it you will know it is the one for you.
There are two ways to get enough Cubs. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.

Did I miss it? What was wrong with the original hood? It appeared to be in pretty fair condition.
Freedom is for those that claim it.

The hood was not bent cracked or rusted through. It had some pitting and I thought about find another one rather then doing the body work. When I found that the 55 did not have oiling holes. With that in mind, I decided to break down and spend the required hours to bring the hood back.

Through the magic of the Internet, a big WOW all the way from Kuala Lumpur Mayalsia.

That Cub was a classic Bill E Bob-coined "Cubzu". What a great photo history and a great job.

It looks like you can use a little more experience to really get it right, though. :wink: . I'll send you my address so you can pick up one or 2 of my tractors :lol: :lol:

What are you going to name this Cub? Possibly, "The Jungle Cub?" :wink:

Drove the old girl around today. Runs great. I'll get the hood and lights done in the next few days.
