Back in the day dent repair often involved drilling a bunch of holes in
an area to pull with a slide hammer or such then bondo'ing over to finish If you are refinishing these areas now, either blasting or DA'ing that area clean ...do you bother to weld up all those holes? |

we never ever drill holes in the panels. We use a puller that welds small "nails" onto the damaged area to which we attach our puller and then ease the dent out. This keeps the metal intact and also keeps it from distorting during the repair process.
