Thanks guys. The simplest way to describe these repairs Mark. I just unroll the edge by stretching by hand with hammer and dolly til flat. Then mark a new line with 1/4 in tape. Couple ways to do this. I have a pair of vise grip pliers that the teeth are ground / polished smooth,This method works good for tight sharp bends that are curved . On Marks fender bottoms I used a couple different dolly's to return edge. But with that big radi , I drew a few different lines with a marker and followed them as I recreated fender bottom. I hope this helps out or makes a little since. Hard to write a summary on stuff like this, Million things going on while doing it.

Thanks Danny!

[Bad bug]

Thanks guy's ! As far as file's go, I use the most teeth per inch as you can. Less chance of chatter'n and leave'n deep scratch's. I only really use a file for reading the flat surface. And only when your metal finishing is super close. Here are a few file's I use.

Where can one get a set of these files to buy. I need to do my bug as i am not interested in using fillers on my car, i will only used lead free solder.
