I appreciate the responses guys. I'm cool with the distortion for now. That was mostly created due to the utility boxes and wire spools that were fastened to the sides as part of this truck's original K-51 designation. Other uses of the rig resulted in some damage there also.

I'm sure body shops deal with this sort of thing from time to time. I know a guy here in town with a shop and I may check with him. Just figured someone here with all of these fine trucks would have had some experience with a big flat side like that.

I'm trying to figure out how I can reach around with a dolly and still work the hammer. My arms are only long enough to extend a menu so I can read it, so that won't work. Ha ! And yes, nobody will help me. I've pushed everyone to the limit. Nah, seriously, I get yer point bartamos, that the metal should stay. With pinstriping !

BTW. Yes, 7105 it is.
