 You needed better hot glue. I've pulled worse than that with a wooden bridge, hot glue and 5/16" toilet hold down bolts.

I ended up pushing it out with some bent rebar

A far better, more controlled method.

The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S.

Wow. That looks great! I really thought that kind of result would only come from a pro, e.g. a Dent Wizard, Dent Doctor, etc.

So what's the plan for paint?

Thanks! In the pics it has a white primer, but I think I’m gonna keep the white color. So white paint then a gloss clear coat to finish it off! The emblems are gold to go with the other gold accents that are gonna be on my bike!

White paint comes out better over a grey primer. You get a more true color in the end to the color you choose.
