Default Re: Body hammer and dolly

Paint & body is my favorite part...happy to try and help remotely...one secret it to remove the dent opposite the way it went in, like rebuilding a carb. Start with the last part, and work the metal back to where it should be...you will become a dent CSI. lol
Plastic filler isn't as heavy as you think, and anything under 3/16 ( 1/8 even better) is going to be stable.
Regarding the tools, a smooth hardened surface with softened edges is what you want. Quality tools like Eastwood's selection are fine. Honestly, I have 1 hammer and 1 dolley that have served me well for 29 years.
