Ok, so the "Big Stuff" is done. Now, it's just the roof, door, rocker and fender. So, here we go. Remember the roof dent?

Of course, there's no rear access and its double-walled, silly! So, we need another method. It's stretched and locked, so we've gotta cut a relief.

Then we break out the stud gun ( You pull the trigger of my..... STUD GUNNNNNN.... KISS break!) and pull it back where it oughta be. Notice the gap closed up on its own.

Some weld weld tap tap, it's all good!

Smoooth!

Then, a little PDR work and skim coat on the ganked door-

And how it came out-

Next, the rockers.
