Re: IML: 1966 - Fender 'Dent removal'

[Kenyon Wills <imperialist1960@xxxxxxxxx>]

There are companies that specialize in "paintless dent
removal".

Yellow pages or an inquiry at a local car dealership
(that uses them to spruce up used cars) should produce
someone that can do up your car and avoid a repaint.
