Ugly radiator dent

The stock radiator my 54 is in good condition except the top has a few dents. I hate the idea of buying a new rad when this is one is operaable. Is it even possible to pop these dents out?

I would buy a shiney new, but this project is absorbing lots of cash. Now I am po'.

How about some pictures of the dents. A radiator shop can take the top tank off, then you could take the dent out and solder the top tank back on.

A radiator shop is the best place to start by getting a price as it may not be that bad. Get afew prices from different shops to get the best price.
