I just finished a harley that someone took a baseball bat to the tank. i have 3 methods i use first one is a set of Big Body pics depending on where the dent is i apply a little direct heat and reach in with the Pic and the dent will come rt out and you have just minimal body work to do.
2ND way is i have a nail gun for body work basicly it spot weld pins to tehdented area and i use my slide hammer to remove ones the dent is pulled all i do is use a pair of Dykes cut the studs and grind smooth.
3RD method i have a set of various size Air bags lets say i have a realy bad dent in side of tank i will find the rt size bag i will slide it into place. THen slowy begin to inflate it until i push dent out a littl bit above orig size. As with all metals it will contrac back in size a few percent then just deflate bag remove and then do what ever body work is left. I have repaired alot of tanks people were going to toss so if anyone needs help just let me know.
