yea,,thanx...i was thinking about getting a one of those plasma nail deals to pull the dents out..but i think the dent is to major..ive fixed worse..but im hoping to do this job with next to no bondo..all metal finishing is what im shooting for..ive never owned a ''classic'' like this so i want to do it perfect..its not as bad as it looks..i pick up the car hopefully tonight..or this weekend..and after a couple hours that dent will look alot difforent..im picking up a set of 15x7 rallys with rings and caps for 200.no tires..there black so ill be scraching the surface and spraying some silver on um...and the guy has a new fender...so im just gonna strip the whole front end and sandplast the firewall and suspension and framerails..and spray some semi gloss black then put it back togather and primer ..the whole front end would take less than a week i think...doors are straight..ill sand and primer them..same ass the roof..at this point i havent even attempted to fix that rear dent...but like i said.couple hours and it will look alot difforent..ill have to make some type of mold matching the other side...cause the dent is right on the contore line,,,and plus it is kinda concave on the top..it will turn out good....my goal is to fix it without bondo...the metal is really warped so chances are there will have to be some bondo..
