    A little crazy? LoL His use of glue sticks and epoxy reminds me of some of the dent pulling kits you can buy. His way looks a lot cheaper though. But as far as that coat hanger and the electrical outlet... not me, baby! And cutting the coat hanger with Victorinox scissors - that was pretty funny.
    I think I have a loose screw behind the handlebars.

      Its the following video

      after that one that will teach you a lot more.
      Funny is ok, but it really isn't terribly informative.

      Dent removal, using a spring center punch, finish filler, sanding techniques.
      In general just how to do it right to get the perfect finish.
      I gotta get one of those spot welders...

        Okay, that second video was cool. I could listen to that guy talk all day. I liked his explanation of dents "splashing" and his center punch trick. Nice.

          dents...

          Is that first vid. made by Fred Flintstone? Finger nail trimmers to cut nails with.....ah sure. And that 1800's style grinder....this is a joke right? That's a lot of trouble for what you could do with real tools.

              I will have to take a look. The tank I am using has a big dent right in top of the tank.

                Yes, one must have the proper tools, especially for engine rebuilding...
