And when I get the metal close and I have slight highs and lows, do I use the normal dolly? Or the donut dolly?

Some more pics of how it looks

The oil can is now gone. Now I need to get the metal closer to the templates. The metal in the valley is to low. I don't expect to match the templates perfectly but am using them as a reference. I am using my hand feeling for highs and lows and referencing back to the templates and the flexable...

More questions Sorry for the wild camera swings.

Thank you

I know that I need to shrink the highs, but in the above video examples do I push the bulge down and shrink the highs?

So I started shrinking with the donut dolly and after approx. 20 hits the oil can will now stay down. From this point do I need to push the oil can center spot back down and concentrate my hits in the center, or work the dolly around the center, hitting the high spots? part1 part2

As promised, here is a video showing the good fender that I am using for comparison.

Thanks Robert, I will post another video of the opposite fender. I know you have a donut dolly tutorial on here. Can you direct me to it? I found info on page 1 and on page 12 of this thread.

And a video with the flexible straight edge. I hope this helps. And thank you for your help!

HI Robert, I borrowed a flexible straight edge from work and shot a couple of videos for you. One thing to note. The valley is not parallel. AS you start at the back of the fender the valley is about 3 inches from the hood. As you move twards the front of the car the valley gradually moves to...

these 3 pics are all the same. I never moved the straight edge, just took 3 pics, an overall, a left side, and a right side.

ok checking in the valley, and if I put one end of my 24 inch straight edge on top of the raised area (where my hand is) it is farily flat. it should be a slow curve from one end to the other. Like you said

what am i looking for in the valley?

the shiny marks in the paint are from me trying to hammer dolly it. I didnt do very much as I was not making any progress

The weld dots were ground down on the back side, but I should be able to find them. The bulge is definitely in the valley. But I can get pics tonight. Is this something where having a shrinking disc would help? If so I will need to get one coming. Can you recommend one? 4-1/2 inch or 9 inch...

And another video showing how bad that fender is.

I messaged Robert about this and I figured I would continue it here so that others might learn. Any and all feedback is appreciated. Anyway the 1st thing Robert asked was what type of damage was done in that area? I had to go back through my pics from 6 years ago but found a couple that shows I...

I have some issues with a fender and need some advice on how to fix it. This is a passenger side fender from a 69 Charger. What I have is an area where the metal is high or proud. I am also getting some oil canning. take a look at this video
