Vintage Iron might do the tank. Depending on the severity of the dents it could get really expensive though. I did my own tank and had about 20 hours of labor into it, just to get it straight again. The tank was decent to start with and had a good knee push and a few small dents in various places. I would imagine that with some more experience the time should be reduced quite a bit though. Anyone know if Alan Warn is still doing the tanks? He was really good at them. Not sure who does pipes. Not sure how good the guys in the magazines are that advertise such services. I do my own, and if you can't find anyone contact me and I'll see what I can do. If the pipe is dented badly in a seam it is nearly impossible to get right, but most dents can be removed with little evidence. I'd have to see what it looks like. Good luck. |
