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.).

No picture but you all will have to take my word for it...it would take a lot of time to repair if it is even repairable. The previous owner of the car tried to pull the dent out and drilled like 200 holes in it (not kidding!!). The dent is right under the sail and the indented portion for pulling the door handle is in part of the dent making it even harder than a normal dent. Keep in mind that I want to know about replacing the rear fender rather than repairing it. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif)

Thanks, John
