Yeah, I didn't put much faith in the info. coming from the pimple-faced,
small town kid. But it was worth asking anyway.

I assume that "dent pusher" is old-tyme slang for body shop? Afraid I don't
have nearly enough disposable income to go that route.

No I don't think so, metal does expand when hot and contract when cold but
the problem with a dent is that the metal has been stretched. So unless
dry
ice actually shrinks metal I think a call to the local dent pusher is your
best line of action if are worried about it.
