Hi Nick,
The tractor is looking really good.
If your still looking for a repair to the hood. Have you thought of cutting a car door skin with the rolled edge already there and brazing / mig welding it onto the old hood? It may be possible to get a new old stock door skin from a local bodyshop and do the same. New skins in my experience come partly rolled and a tool is available quite cheaply to finish off the rolling? Just a thought. I'm in the UK but I can't see bodywork being any different in the US.
I'm almost at the end of a rebuild like yourself. I'm doing a B in similarly cramped conditions to you. You're getting a better finish than me on the paint I'd say.

I have Dad's 8' brake and all his old sheet metal tools and I'm going to keep them around just for this type of jobs.

Well it is almost done now. All I have left is some touch up paint, decals, and the air breather. After I get the decals on it I will get it out clean it up and get some more pictures for everyone.

Thanks Steve I will live with the hood for now. I wasn't able to get it like I want. I am going to do some searching for one and may know where there is one here close to the house but haven't had a chance to talk with the guy. I will look into these places for decals.
