Other than bondo & paint... which would be ridiculous on an alloy tank... how do you deal with the dings & dents. I can see sanding and buffing out minor abrasions and scratches (I do that all the time on silver pieces in my LOW) but if you can't get a dolly to the backside of the dent is there a way to work those dents out?

A similar one sold for US$100 the other day, while a much nicer Manx style alloy tank went for US$785. I like to think mine is closer to the $800 mark
