A friend of mine keeps telling me I can shrink the sheet metal and remove small
dents with dry ice. According to him even small creases may be removed with a
very small tap from the back side.
I mentioned this to Gordon when I talked to him in Shasta and he said some
people have learned that if you just poor dry ice on the floorboard and wait
for things to cool a bit, then give it a tap with a large rubber hammer the tar
just pops off in lots of little pieces. I bet the same would hold true for any
place you can apply dry ice to for removing the undercoating too.
