[QUOTE="BillPlayfoot, post: 460751, member: 22157"] The dent can be smoothed out to where it would not be seen. I have done it. For the hours it takes to remove that dent the boat value will be exceeded. Also aluminum needs to be annealed before you start repairing damage. As the damage is repaired the aluminum becomes work hardened and returns to its original strength. Currently at work we are restoring a Duesenberg that is aluminum bodied. It is a polished and brushed body, no paint. [/QUOTE]
