Outstanding craftsmanship! This is proof that almost anything can be restored.

This is the last panel undergoing the long journey back from many years hidden in a black hole somewhere in Southern Minnesota in a long state of stasis. This panel was well preserved with the exception of a very large palm dent or impact from space junk. Jule and I are not really sure. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/assimilate.gif) But with a bit of bumping and shrinking it is ready to get a new lease on life as part of a 914-6.

Here is the process:

Stripped off the finish

Exposed the area of damage

Prep for surgery

Note I used a assortment of tools including a piece of 16ga. Sheet Metal with a similar contour as the lid. I used this on the under side and struck the sheet metal not the lid itself. Once I started the reshaping from the underside a pressure ridge formed on the back side on the depression. I started to shrink it as I brought the depression back out.

This is the result

The goal is to remove the oil can effect from the depression. Once the depression is raised and the pressure ridge is shrunk the tension will be back in the panel.

Restorations that go this deep produce a better than new car. Love this thread!

The panels are blocked out and in what I believe will be final primer before paint. Shot out some of the color from a pint I purchased to check the color. I have a hood from a 1970 that is supposed to be the same color. I need to polish a section to see how close it is before investing a boat load of cash on a large volume of paint.

Having all the smaller parts painted makes for such a clean final assemble.

I may have missed it, resto as best to stock as possible or resto-mod?
