Subject: Re: Body work question

The body shop i worked at would try to avoid like the plague "reshaping"
things. We always said "when in doubt, it's better replaced". If insurance
is going to pay, that is THE way to do it.

When i was 14 (that was a LONG time ago) I took an auto body repair class one summer through my county. The instructor was a retired auto body man. One day he took a dented fender, and using an assortment of special hammers and dollies straightened it out good as new and never used any filler. A lost art, I'm sure. Jeff
