I have a 1970 ish Cub Cadet garden tractor that I am trying to repair/ improve its appearance, the bonnet edge front to back has been pulled out, I guess from years of opening. It also has various dents/damage that I would like to try and hammer out, I am a complete beginner at this, but can anyone offer any advice or links on how to reshape the bonnet edge back to straight.
Any pointers on lessening dents is appreciated, are dents hammered out starting around the edge working in a circular motion inwards? Or the other way around? Just hoping to lessen any damage before using bodyfiller.
I am not sure the thickness of the steel, but it is thicker than auto body panels
The photos show the hood edge/side that has been pulled out, originally it was completely straight.
Many thanks.
