body damage

i was parked at walmart about a week ago, and on my way out i see this young girl about 17 looking at my car. well as i get closer i realize that she wasnt checking out my cougar... she hit it. she was pretty shook up, shaking, thinking ild be pissed. i look at the damage, and i figure screw it, its in retoration status anyway, and the fenders were going to come off in a few months anyway. now heres the problem i want to at least knock the dent outward, but where she hit it... its right where the wheel well meets the fender, and to make things a tad more interesting i have a convertable. so getting to the dented up area is... frustrating. any ideas? if this info helps too she crinkled the fender so its creased. and creases are (insert 4 letter word here) to fix. ild appreciate any help.

Re: body damage

Eastwood has a book about proper bumping or pulling dents. It is hard to show the proper way with out standing there looking at it but always remove dents backwards. In other words where they stopped if it is a crease type of dent back to where they began.
