The great thing about metal working fenders is that you usually have complete access to the backside of the dent. I pulled a good size dent out of my front drivers side fender with a hammer and dolly, a bullseye pick, and a slapping file. It only needs a thinnest skim coat of filler to finish it off. The metal on these cars is great to work with as it's a lot easier to work then modern high-carbon body panels.

The rear door and quarter panel required me to use a torch and a uni-spotter to get the dents out due to limited access to the rear of the panel.
