Re: Body panel repair

I'm with them, The fenders are real fixable and they look solid with little rust. Do some homework on knocking dents out and go after the easy ones first.
I found some basic dent repair videos that might help a lot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3W3mJJbnwNg

I'd start on the left rear and work it out and then go to one a bit more difficult.

If you take the headlight buckets out of the front fenders it lets you reach a long way into the inside of the fender with either a hammer or dolly to work on a lot of that. Saves a lot of dirt in the eyes from being up under the fender.
