I have 64 Elcamino that has very badly dinged and dented inner wheel houses(in the bed area). Is there a place I can purchase these? The pass side has some rust in the hatch area but nothing I cant fix. Its just that I cant hammer and dolly without cutting the houses out first. If I'm gonna take them out, I'd rather put new back in.
Thanks

What you need is a stud gun. The stud gun welds a small nail like stud to the dent which allows it to be pulled out without having to use a hammer and dolly or drill holes, you still need to hammer the high spots around the dent. The stud gun is one of the most used tools in a body shop, ask a local shop if you can rent it or even pay them to just pull out the dents.
If your car is some what beat up you might even consider buying one they cost around 200 bucks and do more then just pull out dents, eastwood sells them...Eric

The wheel houses are not reproduced. There is not a second inner wheel house underneath what you see in the bed area. These can be straightened and will come out very nice.
