I watched him fix my dings. What he did was, he had a suction cupped light that he sticks to the panel for lighting, then takes this long roller that he sticks in behind the panel and rolls the dent out. You'd NEVER know you had a dent in that spot, as long as the paint wasn't chipped or creased. I'll give him a call and see if he'd be able to make it out.

Okay, I'll still try to get ahold of Press-A-Dent, but I called another local guy. He has a website: www.smoothdent.comHe said he usually charges $100 to come out and pull a dent, but will usually discount when there are more than one dent. For instance, he said he pulled a dent out of a guys hood and charged him $85, and noticed a small dent in his door. He only charged him $35 for the 2nd dent. He'd be willing to come out on Saturday, during the Show n' Shine and take care of everyone at one. He says it's too hard to give an exact quote without seeing the dents, but he can come out and give individual quotes to everyone. And if we can get enough people, he said he'd give an overall group discount. Mark

so does that mean there's now going to be a show area, and wax-off area, and now a dent fix area?

haha, I doubt there will be a specific area for it. We will have the parking lot divided up for your specific judging group(Best SVT, Best interior, Best F/I, etc.), and he will just go around to those who want the dent removal done.
And just so you guys know how the dents are removed out of doors, he needs to drill a small hole in the end of your door, where he will "insert his tool" to roll out the dent. He'll then cap the hole with a waterproofing plug. He's been doing this for 11 years, and seems to do pretty good work.
Let me know who all is 100% interested, and will have the money at the event.

I though they would take the weather seal off the outside of the door at the bottom of the window and they would go in that way ...
