Can we talk about the quarter panel I straightened with nothing but patience and a slide hammer
Picked up a dented rear quarter on a 2009 Civic from a guy in Fresno three weeks ago, and the crease ran right through the body line. Took me eleven evenings of tapping, checking with a straight edge, and walking away before I touched it again, and this week the primer finally went on flat with zero filler over the crease. What's your go-to sign that a panel is truly ready for primer, or do you just trust your hand and stop checking?
