Have a dent problem
ok i had a wreck a while back and i have a nasty dent about 1 1/2 inch deep... ive tried using a dent puller to get it out but its to deep to pull it out with... ive seen the ding king dent puller around the net... can anyone tell me if this can help my problem...or can anyone tell me another way to get the dent out...btw the dent is in one of the worst possible places... below the gas lid right between the area in the trunk i can reach and the area of the back seat i can reach

Hammer it. Dent pullers only pull the dent out, they dont make sheet metal flat. If your that worried, take it to the body shop and have a patch welded and painted- depending on how serious it is

well its not that im really worried about it i just want it out... i took it to a body shop and the price to get it fixed was outrageous... i would hammer it but the only problem is its in a bad place where a hammer cant reach... another thing i was thinking about was using bondo and just filling it in would that work at all

No you cant use bondo for something that big... you could, but the center would never dry, and it'd be the most horrible fix ever. Bondo isnt meant to fill dents.

ohh ok well if i cant find anything to help me pull the dent out then i will probably just go get a rear quarter from a junk yard and cut my old one out and tack weld the new one on... shouldnt cost me more than $300

Hmmm, I'd say get several other quotes.
They are going to weld rods to it, and pull the dent out, cut the rods off, sand it, and work it out. You've got several options. Look at bodyshop books
