Stan, I work for a dealer ship that has a collision repair shop. So I have accesses to a paint booth. Guess I am pretty lucky when I think about it

If you only need filler on that part of the fender, you are way ahead of most. Nice work.

I know it's a lot of work and a PITA, but it will look so sweet when you are done. Great work.

I wish I had the skill to straighten metal. I've had to resort to Evercoat glazing to get surfaces to look absolutely smooth. Tips would be appreciated. thanks

Tips would be appreciated. thanks It's really just patience and perseverance. Get and old door or fender and practice. It's actually kind of fun to take a ball peen hammer and screw up the piece and then fix it. That's what my body shop teacher had us do to learn.

Yes big mike is correct I am not a body guy at all I do mostly suspension work on the wrecked cars but lately my boss has had me doing heavy line mechanic work been loosing my butt any ways
My buddy basically told me to go to town with the dents so I did
One trick I've learned is the more pressure on the dolly the better when you have the dolly under and use the body hammer around the dent it tap not pound, it will bring the dent up
When we heated it he got it glowing placed the dolt under and tapped the metal down as it was cooling
Then we used the pointer tool I have no idea what it is call. To work out the small dings witch was many after we got the major dent out.
Final we used a file to find high and low spots just make sure you cross it so you don't get flat spots
Also we are using a high fill primer so we can get any waves out when we block sand
If there are any questions just ask and I will try and answer the best I can
