Title: Panel Beating Post by: Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius on February 26, 2006, 11:55:54 AM The tailgate on the ute isn't too bad, rust wise, but the centre outer profile has been dented. The panel will push out back into shape, but the slightest touch will collapse it again.
Does anyone know how I would get the dent to stay out? Title: Re: Panel Beating Post by: nicko on February 26, 2006, 02:38:24 PM Try here for good ideas on metal repairs.http://www.allshops.org/

You may have to repeat this step several times .Regards Greg
