Only took three weeks to dig up a 9" Milwaukee grinder and order Wray's shrinking disc (a beautiful thing, I might add) - but I'm back on the job:
This is where we are now. Again, I've limited my work to the top area (above the reflector) for now.
Honestly, I don't think I can do much better. Most of the low spots don't appear to be dents, but areas where the accident or previous bodyshop gouged the surface of the steel. I posted the following photo earlier, which shows what I'm referring to. The dark, low spots are gouges more than anything else; perhaps someone went to town with a shrinking hammer on it:
I'm going to see what I can do about salvaging the lower half of the quarter. Should be doable, and will allow me to keep more of the original steel than I had counted on.
