I've had this large dent in my rocker panel ever since I bought the car 3½ years ago. Thought I might try my hand at some Paintless Dent Removal.
Tools: piece of 1X3 pine; short length of 1 inch dowel; hot glue gun and sticks; some screws and 2 jacks (optional).
Pictures are self-explanatory. It took about 5 pulls in various spots in the dent, starting with the deepest part. I finished with a bit of glazing putty and some paint, it could have been nicer with a little more care with the sanding and finishing. I'll get back to that during the long winter months!
