It is only about 11 inches long( verticle) and is the contour of the middle curve of the doors leading edge. Its an 1/8 of an inch at the worst place.The door opening edges and door gaps are perfect - go figure- the door shuts like new. Do I cut through the crease and weld the leading edges so it shrinks and pulls most of the crease out , or do I drill holes/ weld studs and use the slide hammer, or just put the bondo over it an prey like they used to do 30 years ago? My fear with the slide hammer - either by studs/ or hooks and holes -is that it will affect the door gaps which are dang near perfect. LMD Last edited by lmdangerous; 06/26/2013 1:45 PM.
