with patience i was able to work 95% of the metal back into shape and used minimal filler
the metal is very thick and requires a lot of ''tap tap'' to go back into position
never needed to shrink or heat anything



amazingly i thought the fender was dent free for the first 20 years i owned my truk

yep ,these trucks laugh at regular hammer and dolly
