Dump some dry ice and water down in it. Run and hide, wait for big BOOM. No more dents. LOL

That's funny! If I thought I could get predictable results I would try it.

Hmm...I disagree. I believe the results would be completely predictable.

With suitable plugs on the ports, I don't think there would be any question about what would happen! Completely predictable!  LOL

So earlier there was a question about the crenelated rubber washers for the moustache bar. Anyone have any input into this?

Anybody have an idea where the solid ones came from? Some different application?

Also I two different styles of mustache bar washers. Which is correct for a 240z? The upper ones with the crenelated rubbers on the bolts are the ones I suspect are correct. If so what are the other ones for?

The 1969 - 1972 TSB book shows crennulations in a drawing for a March 25, 1971 TSB, "Dampener Installation".  Carpartsmanual shows a few changes.  Assuming that #30 and #31 is the part.  The drawing looks screwed up, but the change dates match for the pair, and the label of "stopper" seems right.

Also, I'm pretty pretty pretty sure that I've seen the flat ones on a very early 240Z or two.  In the wrecking yards and maybe illustrated somewhere.

We both misspelled crenulation.  Not sure it's quite the right word anyway. Not irregular.

When I dismantled my 04/70 240z it had the crenulated rubber washers on it but I don't know if I was the first guy to remove the mustache bar.

Crenelated as in the style on the studs or the style on the string?

 How about castellated. Similar to wheel bearing nuts.

Wick Humble calls them castellated.  The Google shows shapes that fit.  Works.
