Just a reminder, as I had occasion to sit a corner of a 65# round corner plastic tub on the radius of a rear fender...they will dent. we will be visiting "Dent Doctor", guy who uses small metal balls on rods to reshape metal, will advise outcome.

JOHN, NOT YET. I'M MAKING AN ARRANGEMENT WITH A JAG DEALER TO HAVE THEIR  DR DENT WIZARD DO IT. SEEMS THEY HAVE "ALUMINIUM" PANELS AND THEY COME OUT WELL WITH THE BALL ON THE STICK METHOD. kEEP YOU ADVISED. jIM

John, I forgot to post how the repair came out in January. In a word.....great!!! It took him about 1.5 hours to do the fender dent and also take out one you could only see with the correct angle on the vertical section of a front fender panel. I cannot find either repair and I know where they were. Charge $150. He was telling me that aluminium is harder to dent than steel and much tougher to stretch back to the original contours....I would have thought it the other way arround.
