Nasty dent on rear quarter panel
On my car, I was hit on the drivers side a while back and have been somewhat lazy to fix my dilemma as far as my cars looks. I thought i would just ride it out and fix it later me being the king of procrastination, however, when I drive and hit a dip or turn a corner too fast the side in question rubs my tire. And it does leave a mark. So...many bumps = many marks. As you can imagine the problem multiplies the more people i have with me. Now i fully plan on finally fixing it but I want a custom paint job instead and so i will fix (or have fixed) all exterior scratches, dings and dents. But should i rely on the paint shops abilities to i guess "pull" the dent out and bondo it without knowing what the end result will look like or should i get another quarter panel altogether?

If the other guy pays: New metal
If you pay: ask the sheetmetal bubbas to pound it out if it is significantly cheaper - it may not be... eh. |
If it's bothering you, just have someone pound it out (for now). You can get all of your bumps and bruises corrected when you go to get your custom paint job done.

C'mon! That's a good idea phantom. All it will take is a little bit of time...and patience...

Go to www.eastwood.com. They have all sorts of bodyworking tools, and a book about using them. I got a set myself, once the weather gets nicer I am going to work on removing the evidence of my brain fart from the right rear panels.

Just a line. I did the pounding myself. AH it was cheaper and faster. I'm considering finding a junked pro from like a car parts place and taking the rear quarter panel altogether! Thataway replacing it would be crisper as long as the body shop i choose is decent. Yeah.
