Looking great!

Did you MIG the pull-pins on to the rear corner dents to pull them out?

I bit the bullet and bought the proper tool. After using it it's worth the money. check out how many pins I needed for the nose.

Here's a pic of the spot welder. It's made by stinger. This is the best panel beating tool I own. The down side is the price, they cost upwards of $1100. The puller attaches by tightening the jaws of the slide hammer onto the pin. The weight is missing off the slide hammer because I used it on the tool I made to un-pick the sides of the tray. Its a pretty simple tool, it was 5:30 am when I made it.
