    Looks better than new IMO. Do you pull the dent out or push it out with some tool?

    I know a guy that is called the Auto Dentless Dr. He has about 50-80 all Hand forged tools that reaches in hard to reach areas and removes small dents in bikes and autos. Everything is done by leverage. Had him over one time to remove a dent in the El Camino fender that couldn't be reached. He pushed that dent out like magic, amazing watching him work. No crease no cracked paint and couldn't tell it was there.
    By the way Chuck, nice work.
