Kubota b7100 dent removal

[KubotaVT]

I have a pretty well used Kubota b7100, that I'm looking to do a couple small things to in order to give it back some good looks. The material lining the headlights and grille in one area is a little dented and deformed, and I'd like to get it back into shape. I haven't looked too closely, and I'm unsure whether the material is sheet metal or fiberglass. Sheet metal would be easy to reshape, but I'm unsure of how to do it if it's fiberglass. I understand this is a pretty specific question, but would any of you b7100 owners have any insight or suggestions? Thanks everyone!

My 1994 B7100 was all metal.......well, maybe the knobs were plastic, but all the body pieces were sheet metal.

Fiberglass doesn't dent, it cracks. Work the dent from the outer edges with a hammer and dolly, once its close, body filler then primer/sealer then paint.

A B7100 should have a few dents. its what gives it charachter and history. Every dent I have on mine tells a story.

The Hood is metal. It is quite easy to remove.

It could be taken to a body shop to be straightened up and repainted.

never tried it, but have heard that some of the small dents can be drawn out by applying dry ice. Guess it contracts the metal due to the cold and the dent pops out. again never tried it, living in the land of big hail I have heard it works though.
