Well here's one to mull over. About a year ago I was cutting some steel with a metal cut off and some sparks landed on the hood of my truck. I didn't think much of it but in a few weeks I noticed the clear coat had gone white and splochy. The roof of the truck looked splotchy too just from the sun I guess, so I took it to a body shop. The guy said the hood and top would have to be sanded down to bare metal and start over..the price was $1200. I couldn't believe it so I took the truck to another shop, they looked at it and gave me a price of $1500. I got some 400, 600 and 2000 sand paper and started a small spot on the hood , the clear coat came off easily,I went finer and finer until I was at bare paint. I took my polisher and some compound and ran it over the spot..it looked good and if the whole hood was rubbed down and buffed why would the shops all say it needs to be taken down to bare metal. I thought the paint work would be $500-$600....can'tbelieve the quotes I got. Guess I'll be doing the roof myself, nobody can see how good or how bad I paint it, not sure about the hood yet

But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
