wolfsburgedition Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) Hi guys, Not really sure what I should be doing here. When I bought my 73 240 the rear had a nice little crimp in it http://rubyz.shutterfly.com/pictures/14. I was given a patch panel with the car in case I wanted to cut out the bad part and re-weld the new one in. After speaking to a few people who have more knowledge than I do, they suggested that I just bang out the crimp and "fix" it. Well, I banged it out and have a nice little crease toward the wheel well http://rubyz.shutterfly.com/pictures/21. I have tried a hammer and dolly, but...well, let's just say I'm not all that good with it and it's hard to get to...at least for me. I have thought about "lead" or just cutting it like I originally was going to. Please, any ides you have would be greatly appreciated. If you can't see the pictures, please let me know and I'll get that taken care of. Thanks...Justin Edited February 11, 2011 by wolfsburgedition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280zjoel Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 You could buy a stud welder and pull the crease out with that. This is what I am talking about: http://www.harborfreight.com/welding/specialty-welders/dent-repair-stud-welder-kit-3223.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike kZ Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Get behind it with a hammer and a blunt chisel. Just be careful not to go through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
