Help fixing pinch seams
SO i have been putting alot more attention on my camaro lately and luckily being a Texas car there is no rust... but the po must have used the pinch seams as a jacking point so they are shoved up against the floor pan. I am replacing the front fenders and cat even get to the bolt on the bottom. I want to fix this rite so should i just suck it up and pay a body shop or is there another option. Thanks in advance

Re: Help fixing pinch seams
I had the same situation on one point on my car . what I did was pry the area down some pry bars a little bit . then I had an air hammer with a wide faced set , slowly worked back & forth with low air press. until straight . mine was caused by a drive on lift at my tire shop . next time I went to tire shop for a tire rotation I brought 4 2X4 blocks and showed tire person where to place them . he asked why ? I showed him what happened and also the GFX tabs that he had broken . of course he denied any wrong doing , blamed car , me , and said I was wrong . (he was also the shop owners son) I am friends with owner , daddy set him straight . kid does not like me when I come into shop . I still use same tire shop but kid lets others (when possible) work on my car .
