Re: Dented runner....where to get it fixed (cbrock)
I've got some Long tubes and there are a few dents along the way. Where do you guys go to get something like that repaired?
Let's see what the collective experience of the Forum has to say!

if it small than leave it at that. I don't how are you going to fix the dent where you can reach.
If it is very bad dent, your choice is to find one in the swap meet or e bay.

If you can reach it, the box end of a wrench and gentle persuassion can rub it out. If you can't reach it, you have to find the right size ball bearing and push it through.

Well this is actually on my prostreet chevelle that I just picked up. It's got 2 1/8" primaries and they're all equal length (of course one has a slip joint and wraps over the frame...ugh). Instead of getting a mini starter he just banged the pipe in...so yeah it's a pretty serious dent :D But to replace would be 600-1000.00
I'm now thinking I'll just have to have a shop cut it out and weld in a new section. Def want to take of that before I throw down the $300 for Jethot.
