if your gonna pull the dent. Get a stud gun and slide hammer. Put the stud gun on the dent and use slide hammer to pull the dent. Get it within 1/8th of a inch and apply some good filler ie not Bondo brand.

Warning-If you have to ask how to remove a dent your probably not capable of pulling the dent right and will cause more damage. You will probably pull the dent out to far and then you need to use a torch to shrink the panel back down and becarefull not to warp it and then re pull it again. Body work is not as easy as people think when it comes to doing it right. Anymore questions feel free to ask.

no problem bro. There gonna have to pull the dent and blend the quarter panel and door for sure. Im guessing it will cost around $700~$1000 if its decent size dent like im thinking. Merry X mas
