Someday soon I would like to repaint the sheet metal of my 1949 Ford 8N. Looking at the rear fenders, there are a lot of dents in them. I was curious - do people typically bump the dents out of the original fenders, or just buy new reproduction fenders? I've done some minor bump work on my '70s cars(Camaros, 442), but I never seem to do all that well shrinking metal. I invariably have to use body filler(I usually use USC's All Metal filler, although a couple of times I used lead to see what it was like) and sand to get the fenders straight. Do the professional tractor restorers use body filler, like we do on cars?
