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, 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.
