Default Re: Removing dents from headlight bucket

Father-in-law had a couple ball peen hammers with the heads cut off; on one the ball was ground to soft point and the other had the ball polished.

They fit easily inside a couple of headlight shells I had and he made quick work of the dents using the two hammers, a couple different dollies, and a body file.

He had been body man in the mid-fifties when everything was metal finish. Said his boss used to holler at him if he had to use more than a touch of lead.
