I took off the fenders on my car as part of a complete rebuild. and the front has been hit! the same panel that the cowl tag is secured to, but on the passenger side, is crumpled. it didnt look to effect the look of the car, but how would i go about fixing this? or leave it if it is too expensive? i wouldnt like to just leave it but is that the best choice?

You could try one of those stitch welders that welds the rod to the panel/dented area,then attach the dent puller to the rod.When you're done,you just grind off the rod.I've used 'em before,just can't remember what they're called.I'd fix it..you obviously can't see it when the car is assembled,but it'll make you feel good just knowing it's done http://www.chevelles.com/forum/biggrin.gif
