Sorry, it's short notice. It just hit me to think about asking.

Do you live close to Huck?

Not right now, but I appreciate the offer. I'm about 45 minutes from Hucks.

From what I've read, you work dents from where they (originally) start out (point of impacl), and/or from worst to less er, bad.

The idea is, that you/me beat out the creases and the bows come out on their own.

you appear to have a nasty crease with no start or end. tap on both ends and hope for the best?

I keep pounding body parts and the damage is different, but not better...

After coming home and calming down, I think I have a plan for tonight.

I had that thought last night.

Got the dent thing figure out, it takes time. I still need to cut the piece in behind the fender out to get a dolly in there. No biggie. I was going to do that tonight but it took a bit longer to sandblast and prime my wheels than I thought. I did mess with the dent a little. I think with several more hours of work it will look real good.
