Seperating the inner and outer skins from the trunk and hood HELP!

[mopar4don]

Has anyone seperated the trunk lid, inner and outer skins?
What about the hood inner and outer skins?
Are there any how to's or examples with pics? I searched the threads with no luck.

Don ,
the hood is not too bad with minimal spot welds on the sides, trunk  good luck , I think bending the over lapped sheet metal will fatigue it
your skill level make a new skin ,
got access to an English wheel or some one who does ?

The reason I ask, is both the hood and trunk have dents were you cant get to the back side because of the inner skin.
The other reason is the inner structure has quite a bit of rust. I don't think it is to bad, but when I roll the the trunk lid around I can hear quite a bit of debris between the inner and outer skins.
Your right about the over lap. It's looks similar to a door skin, how the outer skin rolls over all the way around the perimeter.

Not really sure how to takle this??

i think if you remove the skin its a one way ticket either replace the skin or source another truck lid i would go with another lid but that's just me .you yourself i can see your up to the challenge but its just another can of worms

a hot glue dent puller will work pretty well on areas you can't get to from behind.  if car has original paint it works better, but if repainted can pull the paint off if use wrong glue stick.

Here's a good way, use a weld dent puller.

I've got one of those, along with other glue dent pullers, if you plan on repainting afterwards, the stud welder is a great tool.  Mine came with a T handle that you could manipulate a dent gently once pulled out with the slide hammer, the t handle is a finess tool.
