My fork tins are a bit battered with age . Can anybody recommend someone who is good at straightening them out?
Thanks
Gregg

I was able to get the hubcaps on my old Vette looking very nice using various shapes of wood blocks, a ballpeen hammer and a lot of finesse.. Might be worth a shot if you have the time.
