David - great timing for the video. Something got dropped on the top of my
left front fender on #142 and put a small dent in it. I started work on it with a
hard rubber mallet with a smooth 2x4 backer and got most of it out and stopped for the time being not wanting to stretch the arruminum. Then I saw you start with a BIG hammer. That was a confidence builder! Next visit to
Texas I'll go for it - just a small dolly and hammer for this. Thanks for sharing
the process - I hope I never get something that bad but you sure brought it back to like new. Reminds me of the time Sandwich fixed a smaller one for a guy at a car show who had nudged his garage door frame I think.

You guys do magic!

Some dings (and politicians) need bigger hammers than others
