    Started working with Jennifers rehabilitation. Starting at the worst area, right rear corner. Pulled the rear valance out, it's not as bad as originally thought, so i started with the practice of body working the valance, getting familiar with hammer and dolley techniques. For a firsy timer, i didnt do to bad

    Still got a lot of fine tuning to do. The primer shows all the dings that need to be worked. I studied your pictures to get an idea what i was in for, thanks, yours looking good too!

    I've got the quarter panel and tail light panel. Im thinking i should remove the corners at the trunk and tail panel first, then the tail panel before cutting out the quarter patch panel. Should i brace the trunk before disassemble?
    Your input greatly appreciated

    Started work on the tail panel, it was full of bondo, small dents that could have been worked. I got time and patience

    Still working with the tail panel. Lots of bondo removed, had to remove trunk lock brace to access small dents, and straighten top of panel. You got to do forensic investigations to figure what happened before banging on metal. A lot of work for little achievement!
