Large dent on rear quarter panel
Restoring my 69 Ford F250 and the rear quarter panel has a huge dent 10 inches wide and 3 inches high right on the raised part of quarter panel. Can not get behind it to pound it out. This metal is solid as everyone here knows. Should I take it to a body shop and have them pull the dent out well enough for me to bondo it?

Re: Large dent on rear quarter panel
If u have the basic skill to do a little body work, just get a dent puller and pull it out yourself. Taking it to a body shop is a good idea if you are ready for the, it isn't cheap factor. 
If me and I went the body shop route, I would have them bondo also. (Remember, as little bondo as possible to do the job.)
Basic body work tools, dent puller ect. are not very expensive.
Good luck

May your sails stay full, and your knots not slip. Unless a slip knot.

I bought the HF stud welder dent repair kit and it did a great job with out any holes to weld up. It will also shrink metal.

Re: Large dent on rear quarter panel
I will look into doing it myself then. I hate throwing away good money for something I can do myself.
