I use the method Frank shows from the manufacture…EXCEPT…I use dry ice or snow if I have any around and alternate by heating and tapping then cramming the cold stuff up against the crease or dent. This causes an almost immediate cooling and retraction by the metal and most dents will come out eventually.
However this method will ruin paint and decals…so you may have to do some cosmetic work afterward like filling with fiberglass jelly and sanding, prepping, priming and painting.
Yeah…yeah…I know a lot of work! But it’s a hobby! It’s supposed to be about learning new techniques. If you just want to run motors…hell with it…
Make a claim and then get her running and have fun! She’s a beaut and now have a little more history that is all too apparent.
Good luck!
