Posted pictures of the right side exhaust after the dent was repaired. Look at j-peg 3689 in  my gallery and then look at the after repair pictures. It is amazing what you can do with a stud gun.
Thanks Mike

How did you do that?? (Or did I miss the explanation  )

[Mike Anderson]

Hi,

The explanation was included with the pictures. Dent was pulled with a stud gun and then powdercoated again. It is amazing how good they are for dent removal where you can't use any filler. Thanks for noticing.

Mike,
Could you post a pic of that tool?
I am totally unfamiliar with what you are talking about, but have lots of interest given your results.
btw, is that GTO still tentatively headed for Oz?
Regards,
Steve

Sorry, I don't have the tool here. It belongs to a friend who helped me pull the dent. You can find them at any supply shop. Just look on the net for stud gun and I am sure you will find it. The bike is going to a gentleman in N.C. He is on the site under cl100.
Thanks Mike

Is this one of those tools that spot welds a stud to the surface where the dent is and then you attach a slide hammer to it and pull the dent with the slide hammer? You then grind off the stud with its weld, smooth it out and have it ceramic coated, panted or re-chromed?

Something like this:
