I'm not sure about "affordable". but a skilled (old
time) body man could take out all the dings and the crease and there would not
be any filler whatsoever. When I was in the resotration business, I did a
70 Cuda that way - pick and file a crease on the quarter panel and 4 suction cup
dents on the roof and not one speck of filler. Nowadays it's grind, fill,
smooth and get the car out as soon as possible.

Subject: IML: Loyal's body work on the
'66
Loyal: With so many of us '66 owners active on the list,
I think we would all appreciate hearing about the work you had done, and, if
you're willing to share, how much it cost. My '66 Coupe has no body panel rust
(only some undercarriage) but it has many minor body flaws like 'dings' in
assorted places (that almost look like a hail hit) and a shallow 10" crease in
the rt rear quarter. I've fantasized many times about wishing these could be
affordably corrected as my body color is black and they really show up at the
right angle, but the thought of bondo under the eventual new paint job gives
me hives. I've never had body work done a car yet, so be gentle. And thanks
for sharing, Loyal.
