Dent question....

What would be the best way to fix a dent like this. Sorry for the py pics.:hick:
Hard to tell, it's on the upper quarter panel,(see tiny pic) right behind the door. Did not affect the door gap.

From inside I would pull the seat and the trim panels off and massage it out from inside the 1/4. If I was going to paint it anyways I would use a uni-spotter

if your willing to pay a pro, find someone nearby who does Paintless Dent Repair (pdr). Make sure you check up on a reference or two from them being alot of these body guys are fly by night. About 90% of that will vanish if done right and from the best of my eye you would really only be left with a small wave 3/8" away from the jamb where the metal is just too strong to shape back....

or theres the wonderful alternative of the stud gun and a little mud like Dan is saying.
and the prices, you should be able to find someone to push that dent for less then 300, unless theres an obstacle im un aware of in there.
