THERES ANOTHER TRICK SOME OLD SCHOOL GUYS HAVE TOLD ME ABOUT FOR SHRINKING OUT SMALL DINGS AND WAVES IS HEAT IT TO WHERE IT STARTS TO TURN A DEEP RED THEN COOL IT RAPIDLY WITH ICE OR A CHILLED WET RAG.
I'VE NEVER DONE THIS BUT I'VE HAD MORE THAN ONE BODY GUY DESCRIBE THE PROCESS TO ME.
GOOD LUCK

my welder is flux core/ mig.... I'm capable of using gass and use the mig or elecric and do the flux core. why?

flux isn't the best for body work,i would def. try and get the gas hooked up

i found that the best way to get body work done is to get the hookup with someone thats good and pay him to do it thats what i do
