Update.
Dent work is done. I chose not to remove the bell. It was squashed flat at the front joint. Instead of ironing out one piece it would have been three. Job looks decent for what it is. The smash in the bow did not come completely out. Will save that another day when I can dismantle it and roll it out correctly. cheerful pleasing improvement.
I understand the two-tone holes that were dislodged from a bad bang. The G and F hole I don’t understand why the mid unit / separation leaks. Anyway all repaired and sealing.
all the wire guards have been realigned. One was removed straightened and re-mounted. Body cleaned and somewhat polished. This phase is over. Time to start straightening the pillars to rods to final the key work. Pads next.
No buffing wheel. All by hand.
