LMAO.. i think my new quote instead of "that will buff out" will be "The C pillar is not damaged, just dented. All it needs is bondo."

using it tomorrow at the shop..lol

how about this.. why don't you just tie a tow strap through the tear in the q-panel and tie it to a tree, and drive forward a couple times.. lol.

i wrote a big paragraph telling why it wouldn't work like it has been told it would, trying to enlighten the minds that are underestimating this job.. and then i realized it wouldn't work so im just gonna put a vote up for changing the shell, or making it a demolition derby car, or making it a sand buggy, parting out, or something along those lines.

but sorry to hear about your bad luck, i would be looking for some damaged cars around town at that height, and some paint transfer or something, then ram into them a couple times with the bad quarter panel because it's already FUBAR..

dude, new shell. I had epic damage to both my quarterpanels, one of which was pretty damn messed up like yours. I had like 3 threads about it, and I got pretty knowledged about it, and unless you are a pro with body work, this job is gonna be a pita, beyond compare.. get a new shell, I did. Don't just go wide like most have probably suggested.

thats my 2 cents. you'll save yourself many hours by just swapping over everything to a new shell.
