Vette(s): 1980 Coupe; L82; Auto; White with red interior; Being fully restored
Undoubtedly, some jerk lifted my '80 Vette from the side with a lift. About two feet of the frame on each side under the door is dented in just enough that it shows. The area dented in is purely cosmetic but I would like to fix, if possible. I am just now taking the body off for a total restore.
Any ideas on an 'easy way' to knock/pull the dented in area back to original?

If the body is going to be off you could maybe drill a hole directly above the dented areas and pound them out from above. Then just weld the hole back up and finish with a grinder. You could also weld something you can grab onto on the dents and pull them out while heating the area with a torch. Then cut the welded pieces back off.
