Well started today no rain
So far this is going better than I expected, and is an interesting experience I have not done a lot of body work
- removed the broken bits of plastic save the big one stripped screw, at mud flap
- Cleaned up where a spot weld popped at the rear - that will need a couple of welds to fix
- Heated things up to warm to the touch and gently pushed out with my hand, that got a good portion popped out
- A second push popped the lower dent out but it popped back in that needs a little more work
- Secured the remaining plastic trim with a piece of double sided tape

Usually, when l'm blocking up the outside surface, so it won't move, l park whichever side l'm working on closest to the garage foundation...and build up my wedge against that. Glad to hear things are coming along.
Another thing, sometimes you have to push/bend the panel farther than its original position to get it to where it was. It kind of wants to flex back to its bent position sometimes, if not taken farther in the opposite direction.
