Dent Removal

[Baseshakers]

so if you've seen my jeep, you know it has lots of dents. aesthetics don't matter to me, but the rear-quarter dent from rock creek screwed up all sorts of stuff (if you can call a panel being pushed in over 6 inches "a dent")

i'm going to install corner armor, but i'd like to pull the existing sheetmetal back close to the original form. It doesn't need to be perfect, but I am going to seal everything with RTV to prevent rust between the sheetmetal and corner armor so close would be nice. I don't mind drilling holes since it will all be covered up.

any recommended tools or techniques?

comp corners.

I removed the rear light, inserted a strap with a piece of board tied to it (stuck inside the light hole), hooked it up to my truck, and backed up.

Good as new.

My second option was to weld in a piece of chain.

Slide hammer. On another note, when I did my rocker guards I was concerned about rust underneath so I Herculined the body where the rocker guards covered. Worked out great.

I used bearing grease between the body and the corner armor then black RTV around the top and sides.

Ryan, I can bring my slide hammer dent puller to the fall meeting if you want to try it. I've used it to pull the dents out on my doors. It only worked ok after using up all the glue sticks and broke most of my glue tabs.
