This process is an art form it should not be performed by do-it-yourselfers, this was an absolute professional job and it is one of the only three times I've seen someone get this kind of crease out. Your work was flawless and you're definitely an artist. I've been in the restoration business for over 30 years and we have a guy that comes by and does this type of work and he is absolutely amazing and you definitely matched his expertise. Outstanding video.

You did an absolutely incredible job on that !!!!! Wouldn’t have believed you got out all defects had I not seen it

Stephen, you're a master. The dent is one thing but getting that hard crease out was epic!

Stephen, thank you again for this repair. I am so glad that I found you before I shipped this tank across country for repair. I know that no one could have done a better job than what you have done for us. I will be sending anyone needing repairs to you. Great job!!

As a former professional motorcycle mechanic and workshop owner I have never come across such an outstanding restorative work of art as this! Your craftsmanship and determination to do your very best to ensure that your client received workmanship of the very highest standard really shines through in the sheer beauty of this restoration. That you were able to achieve such remarkable results without damaging the original, custom limited edition paintwork is truly outstanding! Its been an absolute pleasure to see a Master at his Craft, thank you for making and sharing your video.

I'm not any kind of authority but I recognize genius when I see it, you Sir, are a genius.

These new sheet metal repair techniques are really amazing. Last year, my car was damaged by hail that was only two months old, and these craftsmen restored it to perfect condition. This is really wonderful. I like !

That is freaking amazing! How the paint was not marred in anyway is amazing

15 years as a body man, off and on for years after and I can tell you that what you did with that tank is amazing. It does seem to get easier when you have that reassurance from the customer that it’s ok if you crack the paint...you can work past the point that you think is safe. Sometimes you win and sometimes not. I’m very impressed.

This guy is awesome! Just goes to show some things are not impossible. From the beginning of this video i just knew that there was no way that dent would come all the way out. But that tank looked like brand new after he was finished. That is truly incredible. This guy knows his stuff!

I was a PDR tech firm Dent Wizard years back and later went independent. Did very little work on motorcycles but when you got to the stretched mound I too thought no matter where you go from there it'll never look unnoticeable. That is some fantastic work! The reason I looked this up because my brothers bike tank got dented and I was looking for some quick solutions. He also is an old PDR tech and still has most of his tools. Probably just going to do it PDR method. It's a simple dent with no crease or smiles. Should pop easily. Once again, that's phenomenal repair !

I spent 35 years in the car business 15 in wholesale and as a used car manager. Set up thousands of cars and have used mechanics like you in the past.. There are some that are junk to very good. You are in the top 3 I have ever seen......

No way , that is an incredible repair. Very impressive work..

Amazing! I know body work and painting but I’ve never seen anything like this. Truly a valuable skill.

Great job. I've been around some of these guys. Love how they never actually never let you see the tools or what they are doing.

I had a local shop repair a dent in my tank. This is truly a talent. You guys who do this work are amazing...my hats off to you.

He worked a miracle on that tank!!! Pure genius, No brag, just fact!!!!!

I work in the industry very specific to this and im seriously impressed that’s a talent sir keep doing it.

The heat will cut down the life of the clear cote in half, at least. Motorcycles live a easy life, compared to cars. I live in the Rockies, lots of hail. People tried this, because of insurance companies. Most, now just take the money & have the vehicle painted. You definitely did an excellent job! PDR, definitely has its time & place.

Now I know where science and art and human effort meet. You are great !

Stephen thank you for sharing the honesty moment there when you had all but given up. It would have been easy to gloss over that in this video. Great tutorial & camera work btw 👍

Amazing repair! That thing looked like a goner. Nice save, awesome skills, great video!

You did an outstanding job and you should be very proud! All Harley dealers shops should contact you!

That is the best PDR repair I have ever seen. Incredible

Wow! I’ve worked in auto body and it’s usually, remove, replace, paint, and done. But dude, you’re an artist!

Awesome work!! You did a great job with that tank. Cheers

Yep, I agree with Warren below. I am a custom painter too and I am astonished, you are so talented, patient and impressive. Thanks for sharing a little of your skill. Well done Sir.

That's astonishing! I used to repair tanks for a living and I have never seen anything remotely like this. Truly amazing.

Don't know how this showed up in my feed but, Sir you have the skills and talent.

WOW! Just Wow. I would like to see more detail on how you worked the crease and what tools you used to knock it down without damaging the paint. Good Job!

Wow. Incredible. Ive watched a few of these dent repair videos and really am stunned by the results. Ive been in the conventional body repair business for over 40 years. Bravo.

Dude, I wish I could train for PDR. I worked in Collision Repair since 1975. Retired now. You are very good at what you do. 👍

Wow, that's impressive! Great job!!!

Good Lord brother! You're a Craftsman sir.

The tank looked so bad at the first of the video. I am impressed at what a great job you did on getting those stretched creases out. I used to help paint motorcycle tanks back in the 70’s and I usually had to use filler & repaint. Good job! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Doing restoration and custom paint for almost 40 years I would have never believed this was possible years ago. What a great way to avoid conventional paint and body work. Amazing.

Mad , Mad skills my man !!

That’s absolutely incredible. I wish this guy could straighten out my life like that. It’s all dented and stretched out to. I bet that buffer would feel good to.

I was skeptical about the crease ...... man was I blown away by the result. Well done !!!!!!

Unbelievable best work ever !! Best tank work I have seen in 50 years of Riding...

Trained body shop repair guy like myself can see things !!! But u saved the paint . Good job

I DID NOT think that was coming out. WOW!

Holy hell. You did an absolute amazing job. Well done.

I'm ABSOLUTELY Amazed! Bravo!! Your patience and persistence got you the result you deserved!

Wow. You guys are pretty damn awesome!

You should pay yourself on the back, that was an amazing job. I've worked on several dented tanks and that's one of the most professional jobs I've ever seen. Cya

If no one else pats you on the back for the final result, you can be justified to pat yourself on the back for it. I know I would. The end result is just amazing. I too would have been concerned about the stretched metal on that crease. But you knocked it out of the park! I put a like on the video before I got 1/5 of the way through it.

I'm a body man myself 40 years, that is patients, persistence and insight to see the next push... great job !

It hurts just to watch this video. After over a month of sanding glazing, painting, and top coating my gas tank....i was was working on my bike and it fell over and dented the tank. Can't even describe that much anger.

Tank looks amazing great job but I'm still trying to find out why the tank is so expensive

Impressive craftsmanship. I had a 77 Super Glide with a similar dent, tried the freezing water routine, no workie.. Shame these techniques weren't around back in 77. If they were I never knew or saw it. Good job.

Always impressed by quality PDR.

Dropping a motorcycle as I have done will dent a tank. Wish I had known somebody that could straighten the metal out on my Super Glide tank. I sold the bike for $800. The new owner parted out the bike and that tank ended up on a shelf in a friends car and bike shop. Probably still there after over 30 years! Nice work!

Yeah, this is A 1 job. Specially taking out that deep cut like crease and bringing it back up to the level where it's impossible to see it had a damage before. You definitely earned props !

I've seen tons of paintless dent repair videos but that one really takes the cake.

I've been chopping/fabricating custom looks for bikes for some time, and I could have spent a month on this job and not come close to your level of work. Beautiful work, my friend.

Impressive! Did not expect you to be able to get that crease out, but you did an exceptional job. I have got to remember patience when attempting any job like this one. As you mentioned, it would be easy to throw in the towel on that one. Perseverance pays!

An all American craftsman. Great job

I am thoroughly impressed with your work

I’m here because I have dents in my tank. I bought a PDR “kit” off Amazon for less than $20. Had two pullers, a scraper, some glue sticks and the pieces you glue to the dented area. I had very low expectations but figured for $20 it was worth a shot. To my surprise 90% of the dent came out after 1 failed attempt and 2 good pulls. The dent is barely there now. The dent was the size of a a baseball and as deep as 3/4 of a inch. All but a tiny bit is gone. I used gorilla glue sticks due to the sticks from the kit being too small for my glue gun. The 2nd pull which was really the first real pull blew my mind watching the dent come up right in from of my eyes. Then the next pull really shrank the dent to almost nothing. After that I could not get more of it out and burnt the shit out of my thumb, so I boxed it and got to paint correction. Pro PDR guys have my UTMOST respect. I bet that is one heck of a satisfying job. Closest thing I have ever seen to magic. Cool jig for holding tanks. I sure wish we were in the same area. I bet you could make my tank look perfect.

This is a dieing trade. Many body shops would rather fill it in simply because they dont have a skilled dent man. Taking a dent out of a fender is one thing but going inside a tank like that is amazing.

That's amazing!! I would've panicked after making that raised dimple. Nice work!

quality people are hard to find, people like you are well deserved what amount they ask for.

WOW. A true craftsman and somebody that really cares about his customers and doing a good job.

Fantastic job, what a pro. Enjoyed the video and honest commentary.

Steve at Dent Hog GA, I saw the Sportster tank, the Special # tank. That guy puts the "T" on Technition. This happened 11yrs ago, but the guy has the skills... MAD skills! He almost quit on the tank but man, he stuck with it and was Victorious. Good work.

Y'all are master craftsmen. Thanks for the inspiration and keep on trucking!

You sir are an artist and a gentleman.

Excellent work , a magician at work !

Never would have guessed anyone could have done that that good. Your truly talented 👍

Very Awesome work on that Harley tank Ive owned and rode many Motorcycles in my life I’m 56 years old and bt far that was one of the best gas tank repairs ive ever seen on one messed up that badly more importantly a Paintless repair Ive always wondered why no one has made a Elecro Magnet repair system that would allow you to insert shaped Steel peices inside the tank and pull using a very strong magnetic force of course with that very cool Vise set up you have and your process perhaps there is no need to do repairs any other way i’m quite impressed that you got that sharp crease out as well as you did i know years ago petiole used to build weird contraptions to try and reach all parts of the tanks thru the fuel holes one time at a Flea Market in Florida a group of guys were selling off their contents of a Motorcycle repair shop they closed and they had a box of all these weird shaped items they welded up so i inquired about them and thats what they used to try and straighten damaged tanks as much as they could before they sent them to a painter i didnt have a need for the box so i passed it up and bought some other things they had that i could use living and riding in Florida all the sand on the roads could pit a face shield pretty quickly so i bought some NOS they had then shared them with freinds for my cost which was close to a dollar each

Absolutely amazing, I would have said no way. My hats off to you sir!!!

Outstanding job I wouldn't believe it if I didn't see it on video you sir are a craftsman/artist/wizard.👍

You are amazingly talented with PDR!

Ur vid caught my eye, sparked my intrest so I watched and I freaking blown away. What a masterful technique! I guess I'm not going to worry too much About those little ding on top of A fender I have. I'm sure somebody in Tucson Arizona can fix it. Way to go man congratulations.

That was amazing. I was sure the crease was going to put the death-nail into that beautiful tank. Great job. I hope I never have to use your services but if I do I'm calling you.

Skill and patience pays off! Sweet job!

Truly a true craftsman, great work.

Wow . Always amazes me how you guys do this . Well done 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

You are a true artist, brother!

plot twist, the after pics were before he purposely dented the tank... just kidding. amazing man, would have never thought that tank would look that good without cutting, welding, grinding and repaint.

That was bloody amazing work! Dent Magician more like!

You did a fabulous repair of that tank. Hard to imagine there ever was any damage.

Oh wow, you sir have amazing skills!!!🤯

That’s amazing! What an amazing service you offer!

Beautiful work! Absolutely beautiful! Good job!

Excellent work, Stephen!!

Amazing! My hats off to you for fixing that one !

That is ridiculously skilled work! Well done! 👍🏻

Just to think of all the original tanks and guards that were thrown away in the 60's, 70's and 80's because guys like you didn't exist is heartbreaking.

Beautifal work man thats an art to do a job like that. Keep up the good work

Awesome work!! You did a great job man!!

Excellent job, I dropped my bike few months back, she hit a building block. Sad to say here I am with a sharp dent on my tank. Thing is I'm going to try an fix it myself. So just to say I really appreciate your video THANKS

That's one hell of a repair! Great job!

Dude.... pat in the back??? You deserve a medal..... Amazing!!!! 👍😷👍

Wonderful work!! That is so great you saved it .

The customer was blown away by the results I was blown away by the results....lol

That's like magic. Amazing work.

Mines pushed in a little farther than that and the paint already popped off but this video still helped me see how to push it out so I wont have near so much filling to do . Thanks !

the paint is still messed up where the crease was, but most people will never notice it. Wow, you the master.
