<VV> Body advise/metal shrinking

[LonzoVair at aol.com]

Hey guys,
When I was a kid (and to Smitty I reckon I still am) I can remember my 
Grandpa taking the hail dents out of the hood of my "step-Granny's" Buick... a big 
Electra 225, late 60s model... he took the propane torch and a block of dry 
ice, heated up the spot and rubbed the dry ice over it... it amazed the crap 
outta me, but I was probably only 7 if I was that old (that would put it in the 
early 1970s)... as for being perfect, well, I was just a kid, so I can't testify 
to the "perfectness" of Grandpa's result, but it was really cool to watch. 
That was the summer I saw him take the brake shoes off his '57 Golden Hawk and 
soak them in Kerosene and torch 'em to burn the brake fluid off... I wouldn't 
do that nowadays, what with bonded linings and no asbestos materials... they 
might just keep burning.
<VBG>
I go see the Dr at 1:00 pm Monday, so wish me luck... I might get out of this 
cast!!! I'm supposed to get fitted for a brace, so I reckon we'll see whats 
up.
Take care, and I'll keep y'all posted!
