Body work opinion
What do you guys think, try and straighten it out, or just reskin it?
I've got a 67 nose I can use. Trying to decide on filling in the fried eggs or not also.

How good are you with a dolly/hammer? Looks like you can get to both sides. If you can dolly it out and weld the holes it would be better to fix it. If your dolly skills aren't up to snuff you splice and butt welding skills need to be top notch, that is a lot of stitch welding and a big warp would be just as hard to dolly out. I would dolly it weld the holes and skim coat it with good filler and get out the board file.

I'm actually pretty good with a dolly and hammer. I've got a shrinking hammer that is my best friend.

I used one of those stud welders that spot welds a stud on the body for the puller. They are sweet. You can put a row of studs down a line and pull like hell, then grind them off.

yes yes, the vert is first. It should go together quick after I get some paint on the 67 bug and get it out of the shop.
