Repairing bed floor dents
I know it will be time consuming but as with this entire restoration I have more time than money. My bed floor has multiple dents that I would like to smooth out. What would be the best way to "pound" these out?

Re: Repairing bed floor dents
You are probably going to have to shrink them out. Use a heat and quench technique to pull as much up as you can before you start hammering and stretching the metal more. How bad is it?

Picture time! Have ideas but they are all going to be work and money spent.
