Well done!!! Love the paint job too!!
I thought the same thing Chopper... worst spot it could have happened!!??
I'm actually brainstormin a way to make a sort of spot tool and die to clamp it back into shape. I could sample the proper curve from the other side in fiberglass, then cut a tool and die set, then try clamping it.
It'll get me close, and it won't distress the metal as much as hammer and dolly work. Then I can just leave it until I get time to do the real prep and paint.
Cars... Body work... the smell of bondo AKA polyester resin.
Side note ...
My Dad had a bodyshop when I was a kid. I remember a wall of tools and LOTS of hammers. I asked what they were for many times over. It's funny, but sometimes I do stuff and wonder how the hec I knew how to do that!!!
This is me, sanding on some car my Dad was working on, in 1961. I was 1 year 9 ,os old.
My dads is 93, not so much in the here and now, but alive and vital enough. I'm going to visit him and my Mom in the Adirondacks next month.
