Got a huge dent in my drivers side rear fender and it doesn't want to pull out very well. Got a perfect rear fender, drivers side, on my parts car. Do I just drill out spot welds or??? A little help if you please. I have excellent mechanical and welding ability and all the tools including a nice square-wave TIG. I however SUCK at body work (straightening, bondo etc.).

See what a paintless repair shop would charge to fix it. It will take you at least half a day (minimum) to remove that rear 1/4. It won't be easy to replace it and have a undetected repair, regardless of your welding skills. There's lead filler in the rain gutter, over the factory spot welds. That won't be easy to replace.
