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.).

If the rest of the fender is good, you can cut the dented section out, and then use just that section of the spare fender and weld it in. then just grind the welds flat. If you need to use filler to get the panel to look straight, just go slow and becarefull sanding. Just about the toughest part about body work is shaping the filler in places that have different angles and shapes like the fender opening detail.
