What is the best way to get them smooth again? Are hammers and dollies all that is needed? Any ideas would be great, Thanks | | | | | Joined: May 2007 Posts: 275 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: May 2007 Posts: 275 | Hammer and dollies are your best bet. Once you have them hammered out, use a flat file to check them. Keep it up and you will have them all out. It's not as hard as you might think.

Relieving the built up stress in the dent will allow the undamaged metal to return...Eric | | | | | Joined: Oct 2000 Posts: 804 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2000 Posts: 804 | Here is some instuction on large flat panels as well that may be of help. http://www.autobodystore.com/ms14.htm Brian
