My 66 has this also. How common is this? It seems that it could be reasonably repaired without replacing the door panel. Opinions?
[Edit] Also, anyone already have a solution to preventing again in the future?

To repair them, usually depends on how bad they are. I've welded pins onto the low side of the dent and work them back out with a slide hammer. If they aren't very bad, you can work them out from the inside with an old ax handle or something of the like.

If it were easy they'd have grade schoolers doing it!
