| Anyone have auto body experience? That thread on old cars got me pumped up to get the 50 Dodge grandpa bought brand new up and going. the hardest part for me is body work.
Before I owned it it was at a farm and deemed to be in the road and needed moved forward. Somebody took a loader either skid or tractor and was pushing the bumper,,,slipped up and punched the straight edge into the fender right below the tail light and bezel below that
the bending of that broke the lens and bezel which I have bought but it doesnt come close to fitting from the bent metal. The good news is it is bent straight line,,,bad news is the fender wraps there in about a 5" radius side to side as shown in this pic Its pushed in 3 to 4 inches from where it started,,,sort of semi sharp kinks

Was thinking of applying pressure with a jack from the inside and taking the hot wrench to soften this tough steel.. Fourtuantely it is only 5 inches of fender and not the whole trunk lid
Any advice is welcome to keep it as good as it can be without screwing it up | |
