Well we all know that Dick Bennett is one of the Oldgas classics. He is a man of many words and stories ( as his post tell it all).
I know that most people know that he re-lids cans and pops out dents but man he does AN EXCELLENT JOB!!!

So if you got some cans that are in disrepair, California is calling there name.

Here is the Before shots:



Here is the After shots:




After a new bottom and some work... she look pretty good now.

Thanks DB

So, who's DB?? Dick Bennett His can repair is top of the line . He also makes Copy -Cans for display, with a pretty nice selection. I've bought a few dozen. Hopefully one day I can afford the originals, but till then they display great.

DB doesn't clean the or paint the cans, just fixes the dents and replaces the top and bottom if you like. But the work is great!

A little light compound will take the surface rust off no problem.
Just have to be a bit careful.
