Ha ha, if it wasn't for my cat enjoying the odd Mole, I may well have taken you up on your offer!Tack weld a fixing in the centre of the dent and pull out with a slide hammer. Fill any imperfections with body lead smoothed with a moleskin cloth. I caught a mole in the garden last week, if I'd known I could have sent it to you! I did all this on my S8 Sunbeam in 1970.
Cheers Bill
Thanks Bill, Its very impressive how only using the steel rod the dent can be manipulated out with a bit of pressure in the right place. They're quite addictive to watch, with some of the dents in what looks like impossible area to repair.There is a few on youtube for ideas.
I agree, though I just want to get the worst of the dent removed, so its easier to work with cleaning the inside and less prep work for painting.Can't really see that a bit of filler is such a bad thing,
If you have watched a few USA Custom Car stuff, They use it by the ton !.
Brother Ron made me a Special Petrol tank to take Oil one side Petrol the other,
Like an "A" Twin, I can hardly pick it up .
Absolutely, I found myself watching multiples as they make it seem effortless! They seem to have a different pusher rod for every eventualitySome of the other videos that accompanied the one posted by Bill Thomas are really instructive, I had not realised that the work these chaps are doing was even possible, or some of the tools used. If you did not view some of them them then I recommend that you do. It is clearly a skill which can be learnt and has tools which could be copied.
Softened the paint with a hot air gun, then eased the dent carefully out using the right pusher rod. Very impressiveWhat I liked was the paint was undamaged !!.
