Albies tank was one of the first of the few times I've tried pulling dents.

My original approach was a slide hammer on pins I welded to the tank and it did didn't move the metal, possibly because I had no good way to hold the tank firmly enough.

I ended up TIG brazing a threaded rod to the tank where it needed pulling and bridging across the dents with a piece of steel angle with wooden blocks against the tank, the angle had a hole in it for the threaded rod and this allowed me to use a nut on the threaded rod to progressively pull the metal out towards where it should be.

The dents didn't "pop" back out as I hoped and had to be pulled back area by area gradually which on the front dent still left a bit of a crater field. Eventually I had to stop pulling as any where I pulled seemed to pull another area above where it should be and I don't have the skills to beat it back down to form with any accuracy so I thought leaving some room for filler was better than leaving material proud.

I'd like to have done better but I ran out of talent.
