Re: 68 Stepside Shorty - Canadian Build GMC 910

I decided to try my hand at pulling dents/crease. I don't have a stud welder but I had some studs from when I borrowed one. I decided that I would use my mig and just hand weld them in to place. I had a slide hammer but it was the kind where you drill holes and use the hook. I didn't want to do that. So I took one of the nuts that came with it and welded a cheap pair of vise grips to it so I could lock on to the studs. The hole thing worked rather well. I also used a 2x2 and welded a bolt to another cheap pair of vise grips and used it as a leaver system. Instead of re skinning the door I was able to pull it enough that filler will make it all better. Yes I know no more that 1/8" of filler!! I did have to do some shrinking and with my oxy torch I was able to take all the oil can out. All in all I was happy with how it all turned out.
