Well, I think I'll be needing to consult the expertise of you fine folks on this one.  Due to a redlight-running Chevy Tahoe, my 73' swinger now has a massive dent, about as wide as an average person's shoulders on the driver's side quarter.  It isn't a deep dent, it is just rather wide.  It has a couple creases as well.  How do I go about taking it out.  Or do I have to replace the entire panel?

thanks,
mike.

The Chevy driver's insurance should be paying somebody to do it for you............

A hammer and dolly would probably work......after all it is metal...but then it's got to be painted Grin Grin. Take it to a good shop and get it done if you dont have the experience or patience

Thanks for the link.  I forgot all about that place.

I would find a shop that your are comfortable with and have the insurance pay for it.  They will usually work with you, if you have a preffered shop, plus it is a classic car.
