I recently starten taking my rally car apart, and discovered that the previous owners have straightened and "welded" dents using duct tape and seam sealer.
Working on cleaning everything now.
Anyone have som nifty tricks for pulling out sheet metal in cramped spaces like the inside of wheel arches?

Pic sort of related. Couldn't get a good pic of mine as it is still mostly covered by sealer.

yeah take the panel off you lazy piece of shit

Collet style dent puller and a stud welder or just MIG the studs to the steel.

that or just drill through and use a bolt and a couple nuts, but your still left with holes to fill

your best bet, use a hammer and dollies and remove the panels if you have too

Tack weld a nail, point first, to the bottom of the dent,
then tug on the head of the nail with a pair of bigger pliers.
Remember that tack welds are strong only in one direction,
and will break in the other, which makes removing them later easy

Stud welding removes the need to make holes in sheet metal. It's a huge time saver.

You can tack them with a MIG or use the appropriate stud welder. A slide hammer style collet puller exerts much more force than visegrips
