Ok, I am stripping the paint off the car along with all the bondo. I have the tools to do the body work correctly. The small dents I will use my stud gun to weld on and pull the dents out. There is one dent in the back where there was at least an inch thick of bondo to fill a whole type dent. Here are a few pictures of the dent.

Well first off, there wont be another project, second off the pictures dont really show you all that is damaged. The entire first picture is a dent or ripple. That whole area is mashed and dented. The original repair, was drilled holes and pulled and filled. I seriously think it would be easier to just cut and patch the new panel in. I can hammer and dolly for a week on this and never get it straight. Maybe I am just impatient. I want it done now. I will try and see how it comes out, but if it doesnt go the way I want, I am taking the body saw to it and just putting the new one on.
