I have a BSA Thunderbolt tank with a few dents. Can any one reccomend a shop that does dent repair between Myrtle Beach and Brunswick GA?

thanks Tim

Hold on, let me go beat a dent back in it and grab the camera... hahaha. Seriously though, next time I'm using it I'll try and remember to video it. It's an awesome idea that I wish I had come up with. Instead of the little brass coated steel weld pins, its these little hard plastic pins, with a big surface contact area. Just an industrial glue gun, with regular glue sticks, and a modified slide hammer. Kinda nice not having to worry about igniting the gas fumes inside!

Just remember all hot glue is NOT the same... some is "harder" than others needing a hotter gun, if you are not careful you can damage the paint.
If the paint isn't "creased" or has hard corners this should work... If it is a small indentation give it a shot... all else fails heat it, then hit it with dry ice (you can get it at most supermarkets now). remember the dry ice can burn...
