      B pillar repair

      Anyone have any recommendations on fixing this? The pillar is bent in about 1/2" to 3/4" on the outer edge. I have a replacement B pillar and quarter but, would rather leave it original sheet metal (I will have to graft the top of my current pillar on the new replacement).

      That's a hugeaz dent, right? Can't really tell in the pics. Once you get the quarter removed there shouldn't be a problem straightening the pillar. I would check for rust on the back side and down at the rocker and go from there.

      I agree. Me, I stripped the whole car before I started replacing panels. It was better for me to remove the whole panel then repair is since I've had damage in multiple areas of the same panel
