Ok since the 49 went into storage until the new garage is built. I am pulling out the touring car again to start working on it.
I can't find the thread before on how to straighten the metal of the rear "tub" section. For those that don't remember, the rear section behind the rear doors has a crease in the metal. Its from where the body sat for years under dirt, so that the metal above the rear fender bent over itself.
I was thinking of using heat to "weaken" the metal to bend it back into place, but have recently heard that all that will do is strenghthen the crease. How is it you can heat a dent but not a crease/bend? Would hammering be better for this? I tried in the past and got no where with the bend by hammering it, Didn't use a dolly, just a piece of angle iron under it.
Any ideas on what will work for this?

Thanks
Tim
