Yea i guess your right! If you want to spend 2 weeks to cut weld and rebend the metal befor you fix it go ahead your going to end up with pretty much the same results! Id say i fit in the prove you wrong catigory. I channeled my truck, compleatly reworked the front end to look like a camaro, did a 61 dash swap, tubbed it shaved the inners, so on and so on! Im speaking from experiance! Some things have to be cut and welded but from this pic im 99.9 % you will get better results re working the oe. You know its kinda the same as people who throw out a fender because of a minor dent and order a repop only to find there is 10 times more work in fitting the repop again i learned from making the imstake q/4 to match the door. My cowl hood has to be slice down both sides to flatten out to match the fenders. Im not trying to be a know it all. Just trying to save someone else the head ache! It certainly can be done but be prepaired for 3 times the work!
