I have a permanent tool that I built to dimple the LR fender well on a Kirkham. It's a wood buck that has a perfect indentation to get the drivers seat back as far as possible without hitting the tire. If anyone is interested, I've been threatening to mail it to Nick at Acton Customs so he can support this modification. To form a proper dimple, the aluminum piece must be removed from the frame and a small cut and weldment must be made at the bottom of the sheet metal piece to complete the dimple mod. I've got pictures if there is interest. The buck takes the guess work out on the hammering part of the job!
