Re: Boy is she rough…

[QUOTE=C) If i had the budget I would just buy new doors. Ive got untold hours in just one and its still just "ok". Every truck Ive owned has always had a ding in the body line on the door and ive never been able to get that perfect.[/QUOTE]

Depending on the type of body line your talking about, and your access. A body line with a peak, that has dings, or has been flattened. My favorite tool, is a dolly made from a 3" wide masons chisel. You need to profile and polish it. Round the edge over, and lay the outer corners back. So they don't dig in. That with a fairly heavy metal slapper/spoon. And a decently stout hammer. Not a body hammer. You can hammer the peak back where you want it. And profile the outer contour with the slapper.
