When i did auto body work, i had several long steel rods, bent into various shapes that i could insert thru a small hole in the bottom of a door, and poke the dent out to get it to where i didn't have to use a lot of plastic filler. Also, we'd solder a penny, or a flat washer, onto a gas tank dent, and then use vise-grips and a steel rod to pull it out. We'd use one of those big plumbers soldering irons to do it with. Also, back in the olden days, when we used auto body lead to fill dents, we'd tin the clean metal, then solder one end of a stick of body lead to the tank, bend the stick into a loop, clamp it with vise-grips, and use a bar to gently bring the metal out as far as we could. Then we'd tap the edges down, and then fill it with auto body plastic. We used a big old plumbers soldering iron, and heat it with the acetylene torch, away from the tank. Auto body lead had a different make-up than plumbers lead, was how we coud use it. It didn't suddenly melt and run off--no, it would gradually soften up and we could work it as we wished! they now sell an electric spot welder that spot welds little nails onto the dent, then ya pull out the dent with a hook, and fill the remaining dent with plastic, after grinding off the nail, and the paint, etc.

Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
