Ford Mustang: Mustang light body repair question

I'm with the paintless dent removal outfit idea. They usually do a great job
for about $100.00. Sometimes they can't remove the whole thing, but it will
come damn close. You can noodle around with some glaze and polish to finish
it up at home, enough that it won't be noticible.

When fueling a vehicle, it is always a good idea to use the 2-handed approach
to placing a filler nozzle in the gas tank, just like bikers do: one hand
grips the handle, the other cups the nozzle tip and guides it gently into the
filler pipe, to prevent damage and spillage. This is also often done with a
clean rag rather than the bare handed approach. Yes, you will get fuel on
your hands - it goes with the territory. Disposable rubber gloves will help,
as well as using a couple of scented baby wipes to clean the hands before
reentering the vehicle. The female passengers appreciate this.

Hey JD, did your page move some where else? I keep getting a forbidden

Are paintless repair shops able to remove very "small dents"... (or another
way to put it): "large dings"? I would think that they would need to be
able to get to the rear side of the panel where the dent is in order to fix
it so they can tap it out from the rear. I know they have these suction cup
type tools that will allow them to pull low impact dents out from the front
side, but I would guess that this type of method will not work when you have
a relatively high impact small dent. I have a small dent on my trunk...
looks like a golf ball hit it fairly hard. Dent is only about a 1/16" deep
and maybe 2" in diameter total, but of course it spoils the clean flat
finish that the trunk once had, thus spoiling the appearance of the entire
trunk surface, and ultimately spoiling the appearance of the whole back of
the car for that matter. It's amazing how one small dent can have such a
large impact on appearance. The rest of the car can be 100% mint, but any
tiny dent instantly attracts ones eyes and ruins the whole presentation.
I wonder if they could take a dent out like that without being able to get
to the rear side of the panel. Being that the dent itself is of a rather
small diameter, I cannot imagine a suction cup small enough to grab the
inside of the dent... unless they have some other schemes. Anyone have any
experiences with paintless repair shops? Perhaps they go to great lengths
to get to the rear side of the panels (via removing panels and/or cutting
away inner sheetmetal ribbing of panels, etc) -thanks
